The Tinman sprint race was purely just for me to get a race under the belt before the half & to do things at race pace !!
The morning dawned awesome & so the rest of the day would be.
I was quite relaxed & heading out for the swim start I was still in good spirits. Had an alright swim through the slower standard distance competitors. Had a slow as T1 as I spoke to a couple of people & struggled with the wetsuit legs.
Out onto the bike I had fun & put in a 34:11 for the bike split. Had good fun here overtaking people in both races. The race wheels certainly helped.
Onto the run & felt strong & ready to run. Made good time round the Mount base track & powered up them hills.
Overall I had a good race & enjoyed just getting out there for a quick fire race then finishing, getting a feed & watching the top guys battle it out for the gun in the Standard distance race.
All things pointed towards a strong race at Taupo.
The other thing I promised ages ago was a shot of the bike & I finally did that. These were taken before buying the Sram 60 wheelset, so I'll take others & maybe get around to posting them.
Outa time so will do Taupo 1/2 another day.
