I did feel a little lethargic and I went wide.

Bummer! Pulled my calf at 3km.
I usually do run in about 26 min which would have put me into the top 10.
I had to hobble back to finish line.

Ouch, calf problems...!  Great job in pushing through it though and finishing strong.

Awesome bike split as well !!

Bummer about the injury!! Nurse it and come back strong as next season

That swim was weird, I can not work out why I went so wide... The current must have pushed me over, but why wasn't everyone else? I made the mistake of starting too wide from the flags though too. I'll start closer in next time

Good race though! I clearly have a few things to learn from you re: transition! I was quite a bit slower!

Thanks guys.

Yeah my splits were pretty good. I knew that my calf might pull me up so I was determined to go as fast as possible until the run.

I don't wear socks on my run and I leave the shoes on the bike although I haven't managed to get into my shoes on the bike yet. I have 3 straps on my shoes so it makes it very difficult.

Great that we have a few Melbournites on this site now!

I'm going to take a rest for at least 2 weeks and hopefully get back on track with my running over the next few months.
