First 1/8 triathlon of the season is done

[ToAd]

Today was a disaster... flat tire, bad change swim to bike and I lost 4 places in the last 50m... 
you win some, you lose some, but this is a bitter one to swallow... should have been my race as I ‘m peaking like hell.

Unfortunately my digestion doesn't like fructose and some other chemical sh*t found in power bars and gels. (I won't mention the results of fructose on my digestion, but it ain't pretty)

> I'm very happy with my bike race. I really made progress here. I can't cope with speeds over 40km/h for a long time, but today I managed to stick to a group @ 40-43km/h for about  15km. The last 12km I abandoned this group and had to drive all by myself (@35km/h) which maybe even required more effort from me.

> Running was a nightmare did 3km @ 4:44min/km; than 2km @ 5:02min/km (shame on me) but the last km I was @ my regular speeds of 4:15km/h. It was hot, but I was trained for that so no excuses there.
