Hi David
Just to let you know I competed in the female Age Group race in the National Series last weekend.
38 Degrees C In Hobart!
You wouldn’t believe it but it got to 38 degrees C in Hobart (wasn’t expecting that!) – wasn’t too bad as the swim started at 7 am, so we missed a bit of the heat.
I got out of the swim leg in 6th place, but a good 3 minutes behind the
leader. With some sharp hills and lots of u-turns the bike leg was tough.
Threw some HEED and then gels down me and away I went.
Felt Great During The Bike
Felt great during the bike even though it was hot and tough. I managed to record the 2nd fastest bike split of the day – It wasn’t only the Hammer stuff (!!) – I also have a great Felt F1C bike that makes a bit of a difference :o)
Anyhow, I kept up the HEED and felt good and set off after the leader – I was just on 30 seconds behind. I made that up pretty quickly (within the first K) and managed to record the fastest run split for the day (39 minutes).
Australian Championships on March 4
Australian Olympic Distance Champs in Geelong on the 4th March – I am hoping for a strong performance, but I can only do my best and see what happens!
(maybe I’ll have some birthday luck as I turn 24 on the 3rd March! :D)
Thanks again for your support David. Loving the help.
Michelle
