Got my first Olympic distance triathlon this Saturday. But nervous about the run but should be ok.

It's 1500m/40km/10km

 

Went and did the bike course earlier this week and swam 1600m on Monday and 2000m yesterday and so there is no more that I can do! Got to take it easy for the next three days and then see what happens on Saturday!

Thanks. The heat is an issue, my start time is 1 pm so going to be very hot.

[Chunkymunky]

Wow. Go rupe.

 

I bought a magnetic indoor bike trainer today. Hopefully moving into a new house soon so will be using it in the living room

Well it was very hot!!!! Completed my first Olympic distance triathlon on the hottest day of the year on a course with zero shade and at the hottest time of the day!!

I completed in 2hrs 44minutes so the Brownlees have nothing to worry about! But everyone had slow times, the run was brutal with many people dropping out due to heat exhaustion.

 

In my age group (40-44) I came 11th out of the 41 that finished and that was 49th out of the 199 that finished altogether, so that 24% in both, which is quite good I think!

 

On top of the 199 finishers there were 33 that didnt either due to DQ or dropping out, thats the highest number of DNF I have seen. Even the good runners with PB's of around 40 minutes for 10K were taking over an hour for the 10k run, simply due to having to walk the first lap because of heat. There were lots of water stations and a lad with a hose pipe half way round and so those that made it that far then managed to run the rest but many gave up before that point.

 

I somehow managed to trot round the first 5k and then picked up for the second half and did the run 58minutes, which would be embarrassing on any other day but it helped me finsh higher than some who would normally beat me.
