Took part in this as a preparation training for my Aviva 70.3. The 2 objectives were: swim start and transition. This was the 1st water start race for me. This was also the 1st sprint distance race for me. The swim was really quite hectic. Fortunately, the navigation was simple - straight till the turn around. I was going at a pretty high cadence swim. I increased my cadence on the return leg due to current. I practiced slowing down my stroke at abt 200m (cool down). At the same time I increased my kicking at the last 100m to prepare my leg for the run.
My transition was smooth. I think I did it in less than a minute. I followed Andy Pott's routine.
I wanted to start slow on the run but remembered that it was only a 5km distance. I kept pace with one of the runner till the turn around. My cadence was maintained at high level throughout. Towards the end, I felt weak and was not able to push harder.
Overall a pretty decent performance.
