A very enjoyable read Tunney and I'm delighted to read and get a real sense that you enjoyed it. It's the single most important thing IMO, when I stop enjoying racing then ill stop altogether and buy myself a set of golf clubs. BTW that's a great result when you think about it. I mean your swim won't be that poor again especially when you sort out your suit and you feel you may have undercooked the bike AND the run. Some questions:
1) You said after that you will consider racing more in the future....any further thoughts on that since Saturday?
2) With this race behind you now do you have a clearer picture as to what your pace/times/power will be like for Roth?
3) Were you a little guilty of emotional pacing on Saturday?

Yes. I need OW swimming in the short term
I had thought about the Pulse aquathon next week. But then I saw the photo on here http://www.pulsetri.com/ and not sure I fancy the "swim, bike, good rodgering up the bum implied by the photo" format of the race.
Assuming there will be no requirements to stick a square peg in a round hole then these race this side of Roth
Wed 13 Pulse Bull Wall Aquathlon Series Race 1
Wed 20 Wicklow Tri Amphibian King Aquathlon Series Race 1
Ideally would like a short duathlon over the summer too but none on.
Post Roth only July really for racing as away for two weeks in August and I'm not going on holidays with the threat of racing hanging over me. Would like to do the half marathon in the park and knock out a 75.
After that its next year and I think full service will resume thenEl Director wrote: »2) With this race behind you now do you have a clearer picture as to what your pace/times/power will be like for Roth?
No not really. Give me a fortnight.
I suspect:
* No better than 1:10 swim
* No better than 5:30 bike
* No better than 3:30 runEl Director wrote: »3) Were you a little guilty of emotional pacing on Saturday?
No - tactical.
Only three times did I deviate from the appropriate perceived effort on the bike. Once when some g1mp wanted to get into a neverending game of catch, pass, blow up. Once when some ladies did similar. And once adhering to the age old principle of "catch slowly, pass decisively". Not emotions there at all.
On the run I deviated from 4:30 per km for two-three kms, when I had the choice of a sprint finish with a better runner, or stopping that sprint finish from happening.0 -
