Had a great time in Mooloo. Travelled over a week before the race to try get used to the heat, but when we got there it was not very hot due to a cyclone just up the coast...
But did some good training/exploring and felt great going into the race.
The race itself was very tough. I swam very well, coming out of the water around 5th. Had a good transition into the front pack and tried to just sit in and not do too much work.
Onto the run and I was feeling good and comfortable for the first lap.... After that it is mostly a blur, my body just wanted to shut down. I slowed up alot, probably could have walked faster than I was running.
My temperature during/straight after the race was 41degrees... so pretty happy just to finish the race.
I ended up 29th.

Up next is Sydney World Champs Series race on April 11th. It will be another big step up, but I have nothing to lose so just going in for the experience and give it everything!
