Comments:

better than last years 500 Sprint
when I didn't front crawl at all
What would you do differently?:

Find a way to get in the water to warm up
the marshalls only gave us three minutes
it took me 45 mins just to warm up
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

swim to T1 was 500m and compulsory footwear
I don't know if the 500m was part of swim time or bike time
What would you do differently?:

if faced with another compulsory footwear to T1
next time I'd get my shoes on before trying to take off the wetsuit
as I wasted time with my hands stuck in the wetsuit sleeves

but not mountain bike

got off bike with shoes on
legs locked

Comments:

with locked legs I looked more like a race walker
but not nearly as fast
actually if I'd put my arms out straight I'd have looked like the walking dead Zombies
What would you do differently?:

bend at knees
Post race
Warm down:

walk to tent camp with my gear

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training

Event comments:

I enjoy going to Trentham knowing i intend to go longer each year, but have a big wish list for the event. For example, shower facilities...
I supposed I could invest in a caravan but hey, I can't even aford Tri equipment.
