Race Report: Hell of the West Triathlon

This team triathlon involved a 2km swim, a 4km transition run, 80 km ride and finally a 16km run. My team did really well and ended up 2nd of 130 teams.

I did the 80km cycle leg 'officially' in 2:03:29. That time includes transition and also the time I spent on the deck whan I crashed coming back into transition at the end of my ride :(

The ride was actually a little over distance at 81.4 km, so in the end I am quite happy with how I went. I averaged over 40 kmh and ended up with the 4th fastest ride on the day (crash may have cost me 2nd? Grrr).

Strava Base Mile Blast Update

The January challenge is complete. I really eased off my miles from January 20, but I still managed to do pretty well:

• Overall: 19th / 36,324
• Australia: 6th / 6,168
• Age (35 - 44): 6th / 13,244
• Weight (85 kg - 95 kg): 2nd / 6,069

All a bit of fun in the end but it was still nice to be so high on the leaderboard.
