My experience at the event:

Well, this was a terrible way to prepare for a half iron man the next week. In the choppy waters of Germiston Lake, with an insane wind preannouncing an afternoon storm, I had one of my worst performances since I started.

The swim was a nightmare: I lost my rhythm because of the irregular waves and I kept drinking more than I wanted. I panicked and I struggle to get out. The bicycle was a bit better, but the strong wind prevented me from assuming any kind of aerodynamic position: simply too hard. The run instead was great: 2 quick laps where I passed whoever I could.

Not a great performance but maybe next week things will be better!  Back to sports
