9 AM
Swimming race 9:45 [5] 0.48 km (20:19 / km)
slept:6.5
Swam in outside pool, but it was really salty, but I thought it went quite well. Overtook a few people and only got overtaken by two right at the end. (Overtook both in the transition).
Note
Transition 1
Decided to put GPS watch on before I got on bike cos almost crashed at Wilmslow when I was fiddling with it on the bike. This slowed me down, as well as the fact one of my stupid socks got stuck :/ Still decent transtion.
Cycling 39:56 [4] 20.66 km (31.0 kph) +70m
Wind... Absolute Nightmare!!! :( It was sooo strong. I thought generally I was going pretty fast, so I don't know where I lost so much time... Seemed to be doing 32+km/h most of the time. If it was totally flat it'd be fine. I screwed up some gears on the uphill sections and lost far too much momentum.
Note
Transition 2
Came flying off bike, really fast transition straight into shoes and off.
Running 20:40 [5] 5.0 km (4:08 / km) +18m 4:04 / km
shoes: Adidas Supernova Sequence
Off bike my calves were burning so had to take pace out of first half of lap and nurse my legs to stop them cramping, but after I shook that off I nailed the rest :) Felt really good. Overtook everyone :P
Note
Overall Time: 1:12:29
Race Number: 197
Overall pleased considering conditions, but I wish there'd been no wind like last time so I could get under 1hr 12 again...
Timing From Website (doesn't take out transition times like last week which is a pain, so used my timing for the actual disciplines).
