High fitness heading in to this race, but I felt a bit flat
in the water and on the bike. Bashed in the swim, had Garmin smashed. Never felt
strong on the bike, lost the pack 50k in while slowing down to pee, so had to work hard against wind
alone. Took a while for hr to drop on run, found rhythm after 5k but had to
dig last 10k to stay under 3hrs, and subsequently 9hrs. Didn’t feel it was
a reflection of fitness but could have been worse. Was hoping to be faster on
the day, but still a nice race and great support.
Swim: 1:00
Bike: 4:52
