The swim started fine and then after 300m, it all went to shit, i lost my breathing and then started to panic.Must of started off too fast or could be just the lack of swim training and open water training. Took until nearly the turn around point for me to calm down and just swim. After that the swim went fine, kept bumping into people but thats just part of the fun. My arms didn`t get tired like they did last year. Time 1:26:51 not happy with that but thought it was worse, glad to finish.
T1 went quite smoothly, took my time because i pissed about the swim.
The bike - started off at quite steady pace and after 50km pushed a little harder. Unfortunately around 60km went round a corner too fast thought the road went straight on but it turned to the left before i knew it some bollards were in the road. Hit the brakes hard, locked up and then bang, on the floor. Got helped up by a couple of german policemen. Some helpers helped pick up my energy bars, bottles , etc. Didn`t really check if i or my bike were injured. Just jumped back on and off i went. Pushed hard for a while to make up time and my knee started to ache. Scabbed a couple of pain killers off some navy guy and then a couple more off a pirate. Saw Mirkku for the first time and told her i needed more pain killers. She gave me some next time i saw her. All in all happy with the bike, would have been quicker without the crash.
T2 went smoothly, sun cream on and away we go.
The run - did the run walk. Worked well, ran between aid stations and
