I finished my 1st tri of the season on Sunday 15th at Scorching Bay Wellington. The race plan was to get it completed in under 3hrs with no injuries and learn as much as I can.
I had a tough swim, the water was very cold and on the 1st lap on the way back to shore I was blown back to sea with wind and tide. I made the decision to go to transition after 1 lap, 500m.
T1 was mad!! your brain is not engaged properly, you are cold and wet and not thinking properly. My bike was very strong though, I passed lots of competitors on the 2km uphill climb which was great, the wind was very strong and effected speed all day.
T2 was better, the run was a 2 lap out and back to point Halswell, out was into the stiff Northerly, back was being blown home. I felt comfortable and solid on the run which was great.
Overall I had a good race although I know I need to improve my sea swimming skills and time in the water, which will happen over the summer.
