The Short Course Triathlon Thread

Argh. OceanLakeTri Sprint distance. 1h18.

Messed up on the bike a few times thanks to traffic and missing signage.

Given my 2h26 Olympic PB I should be capable of more but my run training has taken a back seat to bike.

Swim 00:13 :white_check_mark:
Predicted 00:12:50 as last years PB standalone 750m swim. Lots of ducks. :duck::duck::duck::duck:

Bike 00:31 :thinking:
Messed up a lot and power looked eratic. But it was good fun.
I was looking for 30 or less, maybe with the errors Iā€™m okay. But I wanted near threshold and 220W is 30W below.

Run
00:29 :-1::pensive:

Always my weak point but this is waaaay off. 10k time was 52mins a couple of months back so even on recent weak training I should have got 26mins. Maybe the illness fri/sat, maybe burned too much on the bike, maybe baby who cares? Just a bad run end of - it happens.

On the positive side I did this race eight years younger, and five or six kilos lighter, and got the same time so not all bad :joy:
And given the bike antics, I loved racing on my new roadie. In fact I probably would not have avoided the car collision I did if Iā€™d been in aero on the tri bike.
