The Race
Swim 32:xx
Goggles lens popped out in warmup
Thats why I carry 2 to the start line
Choppy conditions and below avg swim. Others seemed to have similarly slower times compared to prior races
Bike 2:26:xx
NP 266 IF 0.8
Given my current fitness this was the goal and best case scenario so thumbs up!
Mechanical chain stuck under chain catcher. Nightmare!!!! Not sure how I managed to do this but feel lucky I got it out. Cost me a few minutes right out of T1. Stuck with it and focused on power.
Need to get mechanics dialed in
Need to work on fit
Run
1:27:xx
6:52 avg pace very even split
Felt really good off the bike. Maybe it's the Dimond. I maxed out the drop of my TT bars as well.
5th AG Going to Australia 2016!!!!
