My first race of the season was not a bad race to do (just to double check what I thought was true - Christmas was GOOOOODDD but it was time to train). The race was the second in the Hills Tri Club race series. The turn out was awesome - another sellout field, which is 200. The weather wasn't too bad for a race, slightly over cast, breezy and the water temp was 28.The swim was pretty straight forward, 750m down the rowing lanes, coming out of the water 4th wasn't a bad start, slightly knackered but I felt pretty good.
I lost a little of time on the bike against the other guys, but it was all about holding a steady pace in to the wind and the making up for it with the tail wind. Coming off the bike the legs were a little wobbler, as I haven't done little to no transition training, where would the fun in that be. The run wasn't much fun, I managed to keep a steady pace for the most part and was slowly bringing down the gap to the guys in front.
Overall the race went well, finishing 7th overall, in a field that contained some good hitters and some younglings that I will be racing next weekend (16 Jan 2011) at Nowra in the Pro Tour, should be fun.
