It was a last minute decision to join today's Sprint Tri by TriFam.
Only saw the article on Straits Times on Tuesday and immediately registered the next day, which was the closing.
It was a good warm up to start the Tri Season.
$30 for a no frills, simple and well organized race, was definitely worth it.
Did a lot faster relative to my 1st Sprint in Port Dickson.
I remember clocking about 1:44 then, but it was a totally different terrain and killer for the bike leg.
1:22 is a fairly good result, which surprised myself as well.
Take away for today's race:
1) Swim: Remember to wet the goggles before the swim. Fogged up halfway through and I couldn't make out where's the end point for the swim
2) Bike: more training to increase target speed to 32km/h for fast flat roads. Current 30km/h is not fast enough and I keep getting overtaken.
3) Running: Pretty decent performance towards the end to hit 5:10 min/km pace when I'm really flat, but still took a bit too long to adjust after T2. More brick training to required.
4) Failed to get the heart rate monitor to work in seawater. Double check if it is supposed to work in the sea.
5) Unable to check if GPS sensor was connected to the watch while riding which caused me to lose some data. Figure out if it is possible to safely bring the GPS from the swim.
