Comments:
I started off slowly and gradually increased my pace throughout the race. Actually I started too slowly and kind of got stuck in my comfort zone. I started to push harder at the half way point and finished strong which is always a nice feeling.

I was a little disappointed to miss the 40 minute mark but the main is that I completed the race injury free and things are looking good for Ironman France.

 

What would I do differently?
Go faster from the start.

Event Comments:
Well organised, timing chips, lots of marshals and a good crowd.
