I
planned to finish in 2:30:00h, if everything went well ...
the swim began with two laps of 2460ft/750m each and a walk
around... the visibility under water was extremely limited,
so I had to be careful not to collide with anyone else...
during the second lap I got lost and swam a little longer…
105th after the swim... I was out of the water, onto my bike
and the hunt was on...
I passed 16 on my bike... 21mph/34km/H average and in89th
place... a quick chug from the Pirate bottle... and off to
the 6.2m/10km run...
now it really started to heat up, it was about 86°F/30°C...
I passed another 12... and crossed the finish line... 77th
place overall, out of 153 finishers and 24th place in my age
division (AK40)... time: 2:29:41h.
