Comments:
As I shot off from the wall my goggles let in a load of water and I
had to keep my left eye closed the whole swim. There was no way I was
going to stop and readjust them. I swam pretty much as hard as I could but
I never really got into a smooth rhythm. It was a good time for me though.
Transition 1:
I chose to put my shoes on in transition for two reasons. 1) The start
of the bike course was a little technical so I thought it would be
better not to be fiddling with shoes. 2) The ground was covered in
sharp stones.
In hindsight this cost me time and I probably wouldn't do it again. |
BIKE
00:36:04│12.43 miles│20.68mph
Comments:
I never really got into a rhythm, especially on the way out and there
was a really strong headwind.
This was a pretty poor performance on the bike for me and I reckon I
should have been at least a minute and a half quicker.
| Transition 2: A
little mishap here. Due reason 2 given in T1 comments I didn't take my
feet out of my shoes before dismounting. Mistake! I slipped straight
over taking skin off my hip, ankle and strangely enough both my little
fingers. It didn't really cost me any time as I jumped strait back up
but it was a little annoying. Thankfully the bike was fine too. |
 RUN
00:18:37│3.1 miles│05:59min/mile
Comments:
Felt sluggish on the first lap but was able to push harder on the
final two. I would have liked to have gone a little faster than this but I
think I will just have to be patient with my running.
