What was the target for this race?I did not have any targets as I was only doing runs 2-3x a week and cycling once a week. I decided to try for a sub 12 min first 3km and maintain above 36km/h on the bike and just run as hard as possible for the 2nd run leg
How was the race route?Apart from the muddy field which we have to run in, I think that the route was not too bad for a relatively small race.
Did you enjoy taking part yesterday?Yes I did.
Are you happy with the result?I am quite happy with my first run leg as well as the bike leg. I had stitches during the 2nd run which means that I had to jog very slowly for the last 1.5km.
Can you elaborate on the race organisation as a whole?I think that the race organisation was pretty good. The run route was well marshalled and at no point was there confusion. That said, I wish that the non-drafting rules are more stringent. I saw people getting warned for drafting multiple times but there was no penalty for them. This is very different in other triathlon races where you get a time penalty and have to spend some time in the sin bin.
How was your training like for this event?I was swimming 2-3x a week as the big picture is still for triathlons. Apart from that I ran 2-3x a week and bike once a week. Total mileage for swim was around 5km, bike 80km and run 30km.
What is your next target?
The bintan triathlon. I hope to do a PB there.
