My swim was amazing and was quicker than expected (38 minutes). I was controlled and relaxed throughout and kept a very consistent pace of 2 minutes per 100m. My transitions were all very smooth, even though they were the aspect I had least experience with. Similarly, hydration and nutrition was very good all day. ... I know that I'm better in each of my legs than ever before, having set PBs for swimming (1km and 1.9km) , riding (20 minute FTP) and running (half marathon) in the last month or so. ...
I can't thank you and Gerard enough. I was so relaxed going into the race becuase I was so well prepared and informed, despite being a novice. Thanks!
