I will make this short. Plan was for most excellent hydration, a good bike leg and good transitions. It is early in this season and I am not as fit at this time as previous years.

It was HOT!!!! I wilt in heat. (30 C - 86 F) Ok - hot for me! Race started at 11:15 - yep - height of daytime heat

1:51:38

4k run 21:14 - 5:19 pace

T1 :59

30k bike 1:04:29 - 27.9kph

T2

4k run - 24:08 - 6:02 pace

I was disappointed with bike, but the transitions were good. I thought I was well hydrated, but my body said no - didn't pee until I had taken in about another 1.5 litres post race. Something to work on - I think we're going to have another hot summer.
