Race race 11:30:00 [5] 155.0 km (4:27 / km)
M2M multisport race.
RUN - 20km - 1.58. Nice start to the race, felt good for most of the journey, controlled on the up hills and a bit of a dip on the down hills. Good variety of terrain and overall enjoyable start.
BIKE - 50km - 2.34. Onto the bike after transition and into a 8 km decent, from there undulating then hilly for the rest. At the bottom of the downhill started to cramp very badly and this dogged me for the rest of the ride legs. Effectively could not stand up on the pedals so had to ride seated for the journey. This leg had me in a world of pain for along time. Becks flew past me about 15km in and was looking extremely comfortable. Just did what I could to get to transition.
BIKE - 40km - 1.43. More of the same, again a very nice decent to start then into the hills. Web site says 27m of climbing for this leg - think they are about 370 out. Still suffering quad and calf cramps so just eased ground through. Not overly impressed with route choice that had you riding on a six lane highway - that included going through a round a bout.
RUN - 12.5km - 1.30. Off the bike and onto the 2nd run, legs were feeling it so was a matter of doing what I could to keep moving. Nice run course and could have enjoyed if I was in better nick.
PADDLE - 15km - 1.46. Off the legs and onto the ski, couple of little rapids and snags to navigate early before opening up into an uneventful river paddle. Passed becks about 5 minutes from the end and he was in good spirits moving along nicely.
PADDLE - 16km - 2.00. After a sketchy transition ( 500m transition) the last leg was basically a into the tide and wind river paddle, was interesting paddling into the city passed the casino etc - bit different to the cam! It was nice to finish after 11.5 hours.
Basically bike let me down more than anticipated and not enough bike to run training made for a tough second run. I had listed before that 10.30 woul be great but 11.15 would be realistic, so effectively not to far off realistic time. In the wash up given the cramps etc happy with effort. Not overly impressed with the organisation, location of transitions etc but given previous race history not surprised.

Bike 1:02:00 [3] 24.0 km (2:35 / km) +453m 2:22 / km
Quick ride in the hills after work. From work - back cam road - hoarse lane- village lane and return. Final bike before M2M.
Bit underdone on the bike as been concentrating lots on run and paddle. Will be an interesting hit out on Sunday. Overall Probably been best preparation for race in a long time and at lightest I have been for a while, so excuses are gone. Race starts at 6.30 , presentations at 5............ Would be nice to be there just as they start ........10.5 hours would be best effort, but maybe a tad ambitious ?
