Success! 2:43:22 finishing time. Mass start swim on a shallow rocky beach was hectic and never really felt like I found my rhythm. The first buoy was only aboit 300m from shore so not really enough time for the field to thin out. Was also definitely in the minority not wearing a wetsuit in the 23degree water. But 28:26 (1:52/100m) was about what I was hoping for.
It had stopped raining by the time I was on the bike. Pushed a decent pace but was surprised at how many people were really nervous on the descents, definitely where I made up the most places. 1:14:01 (32kph)
Run felt surprisingly good, no stomach issues and ran a faster pace than I had planned. Was still veeeery slow (5:31/km) but didn’t want to blow and I’ve never run 10km before!
10/10 would do again (in the dry)
