Mini Report for Noosa Triathlon ~ 2009: Olympic Triathlon- Swim 1500M, Bike 40K, Run 10K Added a Mini Report.
Sunday, 11/01/2009 — Noosa, QLD
This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 5 out of 5.
Race Notes: Was using this event as a bit of a hit out after the GC Half Ironman. Struggled to train well coming into it so expectations were down. Ended up with a PB by over 5 mins! The wetsuit swim gave me a couple of mins; made up a few more on the bike and run. Wanted to crack 40 mins on the run but was off the pace from the beginning. Loved the hill on the bike!

Mini Report for Gold Coast Half Ironman Triathlon ~ 2009: Half Iron Triathlon- Swim 1.9K, Biike 90K, Run 21.1K Added a Mini Report.
Sunday, 10/04/2009 — Calypso Bay, QLD
This was a "A" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: First half ironman. Wanted to go sub 5:30. Was a total unknown so a good result. Good steady swim, took it easy on the bike, run was OK but wanted to go quicker. Struggled with the HEED on-course nutrition. Next time need to push the bike a little harder.

Mini Report for Jetty to Jetty Fun Run & Half Marathon 2009: Run- 10K Added a Mini Report.
Sunday, 07/19/2009 — Redcliffe, QLD
This was a "C" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 5 out of 5.
Race Notes: This was the first time I'd even raced 10km outside of an Olympic distance triathlon. Was hoping to go sub 40 mins, based on a 42 min triathlon PB. Was stoked with 38:15. With one km to go a realised that 37 something was a chance, but the legs were gone. Splits were 18:40/19:35. I can be sure I went pretty hard - my calves are still poked one week later!

This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 3 out of 5.
Race Notes: Crashed my new bike on the final corner and had to hobble over the line! Two years earlier I had my wheel blow up after 120km. I am cursed on this course!

No specific goal time, but to beat my previous 3:36 and BQ.

My ultimate goal is to finish before the trash truck. Seriously, I want to set a PR, and would love to break the 4:00 hour barrier. Nonetheless, there is always something that keeps getting in my way, for instance, miles 20 thru 26.2...

This was a "B" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: First tri, wanted to crack 3hr so happy with the result. Maybe took it too easy on the bike in hindsight. Stitch on the run.

Mini Report for Mooloolaba Triathlon 2009: Individuals -1.5km Swim-40km Cycle-10km Run Added a Mini Report.
Sunday, 03/29/2009 — Mooloolaba, QLD
This was a "A" Race for me.
I rated my performance a 4 out of 5.
Race Notes: Aiming to beat previous Olympic PB of 2:26, so just made it. Conditions were poor so might have gone a couple of mins faster. No stitch on the run this time - took two squeezies pre-mixed in water in the first 20km of the ride, felt it coming early in the run so took first couple of kms easier and held it off. Need to push bike harder still. Dunno how I swam 27mins - can't do that in the pool!?!

Nice runny gels. The attached bottle holds 3 shots without the mess of ripping open a sachet. Lemon/Lime is super tasty.
