200m easy swim
Swim
  • 17m 10s
  • 1500 meters
  • 01m 08s / 100 meters
Comments:

This swim is usually current assisted but this time the tide was still slightly against us due to wave timings. Felt like I swam well and was pushing hard. Lost a good draft as we caught up to some slower swimmers from earlier waves. Happy with my effort and time but my age group position was a little disappointing.
What would you do differently?:

Work harder to keep my draft

Comments:

Felt pretty weak on the bike and struggled into the headwind sections. Heaps of turns on the course makes it tough to get into a rhythm but I'm still weak on the bike in comparison to the rest of my age group.
What would you do differently?:

Get stronger and much faster on the bike!
Transition 2
  • 01m 50s
Comments:

Great dismount
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - good transition.
Run
  • 46m 47s
  • 10 kms
  • 04m 41s  min/km
Comments:

Felt like I was running well early on and was pacing really well off one of the slower Pro women. On the second lap though (she had finished her run) I started to struggle and my right calf started to really tighten up. With 1.5km to go my calf gave way and I had to limp/struggle my way to the finish. Disappointing because I was on target for a good time.
What would you do differently?:

Get lighter and do some calf strengthening work.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight and fitness - need to lose 5kg.
