Did my mini tri yesterday. Race (using that term loosely) result below:

http://my1.raceresult.com/94390/5481/Online%20Certificate%20-%20GTS

Was fun in a weird kind of way. The swim was pretty bad. I got a bit of white line fever and tried to keep up with the first pack. Didn't even realise it at the time but figured it out after about the first 150m when I was spent. Used a fair bit of survival backstroke on the way back in haha.

The ride and run were both weird. Kept well within my limits on both which was kind of disappointing but also didn't have any point of reference given it's my first event and was flying blind as my watch doesn't have a triathlon function.

Either way was fun and I'll definitely do more at the end of the year but the sprint distance this time. Have 6 months to train for it so I can be slightly more competitive next time.

pretty sick man. now that you have some experience, going to be easier to go hard the next one. could do some road races and such in between, to improve your "race day" prep etc.

confused about the watch tho .. why does it need a triathlon function? sorry, don't know anything about triathlons. i'd imagine it would still give you pace/mileage etc and such?

hard speed day! leggo.

great session!! getting closer to sub5 on grass! being able to hit sub5's consistently on grass is a big goal of mine right now. I want to PR everything from {400m, 800m, 1km, 1 mile, 2 mile, 5km} on grass, even 10km but don't care about it as much right now.

unrelated, or perhaps related .. why do you keep making so many (enormous) typos? it's not something new, but just felt like mentioning it regarding the greater context. attention to detail, in typing & training.

as an overall theme, don't neglect the small, seemingly unimportant components.



peace!

damn that 10k was solid!!!!

What a finish between Ahmed & Cheptegei .. Cheptegei is *that dude* for 5k/10k. He's the real deal.

Ahmed is an intense dude.

What a performance by Jake too.

So ofc you obviously won't find any videos of the races from the gold coast unless on social media a small bit or bad quality. So I watched the 10k race and uploaded the video on youtube after editing the unnecessary other athletics event because it is a long event and then i find out it is only allowed in certain countries cos of bbc copyright content restricted to uk.

But the race was close but the first and second place runners just kicked it to another gear towards the last lap or so.

so here is the video.

And for the people who can't watch the youtube video cos it's blocked in your country then you have the link below.
