Did the HSBC down in Dorney today - 2:32:30, with the swim & ride coming in at 1.6k and 43k, so I'm pretty happy.
Looking at the results, there's quite a lot of people that missed a lap on the ride, but haven't been picked up on it. I know it's all supposed to be about personal targets and whatnot, but my competitive streak is itching.
Nice race though - the lake is super clear, and there are still lane markers, meaning that swimming in a straight line is easy - 27:00 for 1.6k
The bike course was an 8 lap affair around the lake - flat, not very exciting, and a little congested, but fine for just tucking down and going - 1:13 for 43k
The run was nice because there was a breeze it wasn't too warm - 4 laps of out and back, with plenty of traffic - 48:30 for 10k
