Grafman went better than expected, my open water swimming has been way slower than expected this year so was hoping for around 35 minutes, entered t1 in just over 33. Bike was a bit hillier than I expected but managed to tick along at target power and came in around 2:36 and despite needing a pit stop on the run managed a 1:36 half marathon and finished in 4:49, kind of want to do another one now…
A great marker for Ironman talinn in 8 weeks, some work to do both on increasing my ability to hold those paces for twice as far, and losing a bit more timber so I don’t look like such a fatty in the race photos!
Edit.. corrected some horrible spelling and added some race photos..
