Notes
Thunderstorm activity and wind/choppy waves delayed the start about 45 minutes and shortened the swim from 500m to 250m plus a beach run back. I started in the last "old lady" wave, 35 and up, in heavy rain.
Swim plus run down length of beach and chute to T1 - It was rainy and wavy in the lake but I swam steadily, feeling pretty relaxed. Approximately 11 minutes.
T1 - everything was wet despite covering my gear with a bucket, and I spent too much time cursing trying to get my tank top on over my wet tri top. Took almost 3 min.
Bike - 12.4 miles in 43:59. I was very pleased with this, especially on wet roads and almost 0 bike training.
T2 - about 2 minutes including running through the chute to the road, knocked my bike down but otherwise no issues. Soaking from head to toe and shoes were heavy.
Run - 5K (?) in 23:08. Pretty sure the course was short. Caught and passed runners the whole way - fun! Breathing wise felt like marathon pace - I couldn't get my legs to turn over any faster after the bike.
My time goal was under 1:30 so I was very happy with my time. If we had swam the entire 500m I think I would have had to push harder for it.
