 Swim
Comments: After being tumbled over at my last race, I started on the side and near the front and it went so much better. Very nice and smooth swim Didn’t help though, I am still very slow at this. 7 secs faster than last year What would you do differently?: Take lessons? Train more? Maybe I should warm up….  Transition 1
Comments: A nice T1, just I like them. Smooth and problem free. Exactly same time as last year. 8th best time out of 435 participants.  Bike
Comments: I was surprised how fast I was, averaging 33k/h (I am normally around 30). A very flat and fast course but still, 1:54 faster than last year. “Raced” with 2 guys (Tommy and Staffan), we passed each other a few times. I beat Tommy but Staffan disappeared after the turn around. Transition 2
Comments: Felt a little slow, had issues with one shoe but exactly the same time as last year so I guess it wasn’t slow.  Run
Comments: Same as last race, very happy with the run, under 5k/h over 4km is new record. 1:03 faster than last year The run is supposed to be 4.2k, in which case I averaged 4:44m/k but my watch stopped at 3.99 so I’ll stick with that. What would you do differently?: I have really improved on the run this year, gaining 15sec per km over 3k and 4k. I was hoping to see if I could keep up that pace over 5k at my last race but it has been cancelled. Post race

2nd time doing this distance on the Wednesday before the full distance on Saturday.
Goal, as usual was to beat previous time which was 1:09:25
Bigger race than usual so was not aiming for the podium as I do when I do small village races.
My friend Ann came with me and had promised me a beer after the race. Fun to have someone with me for once although I do enjoy being on my own too. I’m easy like that.
Walked around the site, looked at the merchandise tents, didn’t buy anything.
No warm up other than some light stretching and a 20m swim.
