We're here one day, post race in La Quinta.

Past simple

Um, he will just take us through how your day went.

Starting with what time you woke up in the morning.

This is my second take, by the way, because Aaron said my first interview was too long.

Okay, no one even watches this stuff that your marriage is me and you watch it.

Anyways, I woke up at 4 15 and everything went, you know, quite smoothly in the morning had two bowls of porridge in and a bowl of Cheerios and, uh, everything.

I got to bed at a good time, Red for, like, two hours.

Didn't I brought like, a took in a winter coat and gloves and didn't really even need him?

I don't think, But interestingly, I think I got just a little fearful this year and I did last year, too.

I didn't even get in the water last year as well.

But for whatever reason, because the water was in the fifties think the temperature is between 58 59 degrees.

I was like, Oh, it's too cold to do a warm up.

And I don't know why I thought that because, like an ocean side in Saint George, both races.

I've had fairly decent Simms for myself in I would get in there and I would do in the water.

I get in there, I do 500 strokes and get over all the you know, the head, strangeness and all those things that air that come with cold water.

Uh, this time I didn't do that, and it was definitely a mistake, because when I did get in there, I mean, you get you have, like, less than a minute before the gun goes and just wasn't enough time to tackle, mate.

And so you know, my body, whatever the gun goes, my body is like trying to tackle a mate, and then I'm trying to rip it off the start line because I know that's just, you know, I need to get out well, And those two things air like, massively contrasting what you're trying to do.

And basically, I went to some I don't know, survival state where I was and I Fortunately, I heard of this happening to people before, So I kind of knew what was happening.

And I knew that, you know, I had to go into damage control and I just eased off really easy so I could actually take a breath and then slowly increased as I could breathe.

Slowly, I increased the intensity and probably about 400 meters.

I'd say 600 meters or so finally felt like I was back in 1/2 decent stroke.

Definitely between 56 60 degrees or 56 plus, I should say, definitely getting in the water tow.

Probably do some, like, whatever stretch court to something and just maybe put my head under the water tow, aka me in that regard, but 56 above Definitely feel like you need to be getting in the water and warming up because it was just it was absolutely shocking.

And I've just never experienced that before.

Unfortunately, that set the day up to be a very difficult day.

Uh, three minute deficit out of the water, you know, strong cyclists, strong runners in the field.

So I knew I was gonna have to race this thing very well and very smart.

Like I said in the previous video, I had just not too long ago pushed 390 watts for 50 minutes off of three minutes recovery.

And so I figured my my threshold power was somewhere around 392 400 watts and s.

So I figured if you're in that kind of shape, then you probably can hold 360 yourself for 17.3 if you're biking to your kind of your limit.

And so that's what I basically set out doing 365 watts or so for the first hour or so.

Figured he's probably best runner in the field.

At least we caught him was I definitely didn't want to becoming coming off the bike with a deficit to him on.

Strom was gonna probably be the top contender best all around her.

At about, I want to say an hour and five minutes.

And I made kind of a tactical where or just a stupid error.

Actually, I went for the past going into a corner.

I didn't realize we're coming into a corner.

You don't you don't pass someone on a corner intentionally.

Anyway, uh, so, you know, I said sorry am because I was, like, pushing him off the road, basically, and I had really sold out to avoid pushing him off the road.

And so, obviously you mean you're not gonna surge on someone now when you do that, Is that the move?

So we were just coming into the to the race track section as well.

She's quite technical, and I'm not the greatest technical rider.

So I'm probably not the guy I should have been leading at that point either.

But anyways, we wrote together for the for the next.

I want to say five miles or so that it was through in and about this race track, which is really cool experience.

So anyways, when I knew when we got through that I was immediately gonna try and get get rid of these guys.

And so when we got out of there, uh, lap the bite computer two minutes at 400 slap it again five minutes at 380 and then glanced back and no one was to close.

So I was out on my own now, and so I knew, You know, he's still gonna have to run.

Well is I knew I wasn't gonna have a very big gap.

I think I averaged for the rest of the bike and really try to get my cadence up, Just get more and kind of the run, my legs sinking and run mode.

And so yeah, I came back, the bike came off D C transition out onto the run and run legs felt fantastic.

Maybe some of the best my run legs have felt.

And I don't know, last 2 to 3 years really good life.

Just real felt felt real crisp and tight.

And unfortunately, though very quickly had the sensation like I had to go to the toilet.
