Just focus on that beer !

Well I sort of start sinking after a short distanceI'm similar mate although my run is probably my weekness on a short distance. I was slow onthe swim but made a load of places back up on the bike before loosing half of them on the run.

9:20 in the pool, 2:40 in the first transition (failed at putting socks on), 44:33 on the bike, 1:40 in the second transition and 25:37 on the run
I felt like I could of pushed harder in places and got close on the 1hr 20m mark
They also do super sprint triathlons that are about half the above distances
