Desaru Target

10 days to go so it's target time again (us Engineer's love to analyse things). Here goes...

I reckon...
  • swim at same pace as PD Tri...
  • 3 mins per transition (1 min each more than usual)
  • ride at a conservative 25kph = 3h36...so make it 3h30m allowing for posh new bike
  • run...could do 2hrs on its own, so guess 2h15m after swim n bike...
  • then shave a bit off here and there to give a "nice" target time...
giving...

Swim 2km - 0:43:00
T1 - 0:02:30
Bike 90km - 3:28:00
T2 - 0:02:30
Run 21km - 2:14:00

TOTAL - 6:30:00

well thats sounds nice but I've never done an event like this. i reckon the swim n bike will be ok but what remains to be seen is how my legs can handle 21k of running after a 90km ride!!

fingers crossed!

Hey dude,i did disasterous 41min for the swim last year and a shameful 2hr40min for the 21km run!
But i guessed if u do your homework(training),6.30 is not impossible
I reckoned your target is not a lofty one for sure
