Event Overview: Distance: 5km run, 19 km bike, 2.5km run
Personal Reflections: I’ve been feeling super unmotivated for a number of weeks now, sports-wise—I'm not quite sure why. I was hoping that today would serve as a reset for me.
Key Takeaways:
1. Bike Skills: I realised I’m still a nervous novice on the bike, which led to a slower pace than I’d like.
2. Navigation: I added extra distance by missing or misinterpreting a sign—definitely felt futile and a bit dumb in hindsight.
3. Equipment Issues: Shout out to the safety pins and a couple of other competitors who came to my aid when my trisuit zip failed just ahead of the briefing.
Outcome:I finished towards the back of the pack today, but the important thing is that I got out there and gave it a crack!
