Bike: 2h 54m
Run: 2h 20m

+ a couple of minutes each in transition from swim to bike and bike to run.

The way expectations influence feelings and how changing those expectations can change feelings is about more than just about running triathalons. We see people living their entire lives doing this. Creating certain expectations for all areas of their lives and being disappointed when they don’t get it. I think when it comes to individual challenges like your triathalon it’s not such a big problem. You adjust and run another like you are doing. But when we do it in our lives, I think it’s unfortunately a much bigger problem with very wide implications for society.

Do you have any idea how long each of the three stages took you, out of interest?

Full of great ideas that go nowhere! My excuse was “I have no money, no time”. But this Xmas break I forgot about having little spare money and for under $100 created a lowfi record label (http://www.spunkrat.net), refreshed my blog (a work in progress preview at http://www.zefamedia.com) and four mini websites explaining my core services as a User Experience Consultant. They’re not perfect but feels great to get them out there, evolve and take on a life of their own…
