Of course the water temperatur was cold as expected. It wasn't more than 16 degree Celsius. That was really cold even with the wetsuit. So, as I had awaited the first race split wasn't that satisfying. I started encouraged but after around 100m I felt tired like somebody would have cut the energy input. After a while I found something like a rhythm but of course it was too slow. I felt myself uncomfortable and was happy to reach ground after 1.9 k's. Now I was wondering how competitive I would be on the bike split. Guess what! I didn't forget how to ride my bike. :) That was not too bad and makes me feel optimistic for following races that season. Well, unfortunately I couldn't really speed up on the final running 21.5 k's. Nothing but too hot and after the cold May I wasn't used to race at such conditions.
At the bottom line participating at this race was the only right way for further improvements.
There are other 42 days until the Ironman race in Zurich. Hope to catch up on some stuff very soon. I've started today with a bike exercise combined with a short run directly after it.
Have a nice weekend.
Sandro
