Discovery Triathlon Cape Town. Pretty happy with the day out, all things considered. My swim is definitely getting better, but it still needs quite a bit of work. Also, I still lose a fair bit of time in transition, which is such a waste

I finished in 1:46:00 and 5th place overall (excitingly, I was less than 2 minutes off the winner...I'm getting closer)

Got off to a pretty good start. The water wasn't nearly as cold as last year, and so I quite enjoyed the swim. Came out right near the front, so super chuffed with that

After the swim I was awkwardly stuck between 2 groups. Decided to sit up and wait for the second group. Out of the 15 or so in the group, only 5 were really working, so that was pretty annoying. And the bike course was carnage, with 4 races using the same 10km circuit. I felt decent though, besides a slightly sore back

Pretty solid run. Quite hot, and didn't hit my stride as well as I could have, but super stoked. I couldn't quite keep up with Fred (he was 20 seconds faster), but otherwise I'm very happy with how this went
