Noosa Triathlon – 1500m RACE – Sunday 3-Nov

The plan for a 1500m Swim was changed based on ocean conditions race morning.

The ocean was very rough with a big swell and the sweep ran super strong right to left.

The course ended up like this – a run from in front of the surf club to Little Cove … swim to the rock groyne … run the length of the beach back to the surf club parking lot … run out to the team transition zone:

The actual 'swim'

12 Days Out

Burleigh 1000 Ocean Race

19C ocean temp … post warm-up result – a uncontrollable teeth chattering Canadian

Strong Southerly wind and S to N current which we swum straight into for the long segment

Chip allocations were a bit messed up … my chip time was about 2min slower than my time via the Garmin

Results still being sorted

Garmin Time 19:58 … 1;50/100m with a distance of 1090m
(all things considered … that’s ok as a last push before taper)

Clearly the pace graph shows the Garmin has significant periods where it loses satellite and thinks I am stopped … their swim tracking algorithm definitely needs work. The pace data is totally useless.
