Race Preview - Inverurie Triathlon

Inverurie Triathlon is a bit of a strange one. It doesn't really suit me as it is a very long bike. Last year it poured with rain and was turned into an Aquathlon instead. 2013 race report. I did a 750m swim PB there and the swim was ok, but I benefitted massively from them removing the bike leg.

I could have put this in at the start of the year as a target race but I should absolutely destroy my previous times. I didn't blog either 2012 or 2011 as my head was in a terrible place for both of them.

While I seem not to have blogged either race the times are on my training diary. 2010 was before I had a blog, but it is also in my diary. I do remember we took a slightly shorter route on the bike.

Swim	15:44	14:11	14:01	13:21
Bike	01:05:06*	01:09:29	01:05:36	Cancelled - rain
Run	20:24	21:19	22:24	20:58
Total (approx)	01:41:14	01:44:59	01:42:01	0:34:19
	*Short bike

I should swim somewhere under 13 mins. Hopefully bike very close to the hour mark, it is ~18.7 miles but it is quite lumpy and doesn't really suit the TT bike for long sections. Then hopefully run about 21 minutes. That should get me in somewhere around 1:34 plus the transitions which I don't seem to have a note of for any race. 

So while I could have set a PB for this race as a target for the year I probably have about 7 minutes of slack to play with so it would have been meaningless. 

Anything under 1:40 I will be happy with.
