PD Tri analysis

The results are at:

OVERALL
----------------
Its great the number of participants are increasing. If there is no Mr Chan, the sport in Malaysia may have just withered away.

SWIM
------------
The swim is short by a good two minutes or more. All the times were too fast.

BIKE
------------
The bike times are about right assuming it includes the two transitions (2 to 3 minutes). I am sure the national boys can easily go under 60 mins in a relay. Falanie (who was cycling alone) had 1 hr 1 min. Three relay teams had 57 mins. Its because they were drafting the police car. No one else went below 1 hour. Who is that big muscular guy wearing red. He looks awesome. Ah Thiam did a good 1 hr 2 min (he was cycling alone and looked very tired).

The moral of the story is, start the bike first to draft the police car. Otherwise, swim as hard as you can, get on the bike and WAIT for the pack to come. Don't waste energy trying to catch the person in front.

RUN
------------
In general the times are slightly fast.

DID KIMBERLY YAP REALLY DO 2 Hr 3 Min????
