12 minutes? What were you doing for that time?! I think mine averaged 90 seconds each including running into transition etc.
If you practise a tiny bit you can get non wetsuit kit changes down to 30 secs easily and wetsuit down to 60 secs. Then it’s just the run from your rack to the exitIn other news, my next race starts at 6.30am and you don’t get numbers, rack bikes etc until the day. Do people really get up at 4.30 am or similar? Eesh can’t wait for a day with the kids after that

For most IMs I've ever done, yes. 5 at the latest.

I took it as opportunity for a rest to be honest, wasn't in a rush! Especially after the swim. And I didn't fancy blisters so I was mucking around with my socks for a while. Also haven't practiced putting my shoes on whilst on the bike so had to walk in road cleats
All easy to fix if I set my aims a bit higher than merely finishing next time!

I did my first triathlon a couple of months ago in Sevenoaks. Managed around 1:45 for a sprint distance with pretty limited training and 12 minutes of transitioning so some easy gains there. Was planning to do a half ironman in late August but a dodgy knee has pretty much ended that plan, oh well
