10th August - Triathlon

London Triathlon

Olympic Distance - 2hrs 18:58

Disappointed, had a rubbish swim, ok bike and mediocre run. Had been going for sub-2:20 which I hit but when it got to it, I think 2:20h was way too slow as a target, and should have been aiming for sub-2:10. I think this'd be on with a good swim and run. I felt like it has been a long season and this was just too short a race. I felt like I could have maintained this race pace over a much longer distance and recovered quickly. T2 was very slow in comparison with competitors around me, don't bother with socks next time.

I would be interested to see what kind of standalone 10km form I'm on and may do one in the next few weeks.

Swim 28:04
T1 4:50
Bike 1:04:46
T2 2:45
Run 38:35

Stu Parkinson did 2:38h - fantastic effort as he/I'd expected him to go 2:50h - 3:00h. Well done Stu.
