Oh I was really looking to break 20.0. Added aerobar and higher top gearing for this event given the flat terrain. My strategy was to leave it all on the bike course and to h-ee-double-hockeysticks with the run, and that's what I did.

Not sure why this was so slow...

Like I said, I left it all on the bike course.

Great, low key event. My goal was to find a good event for my first open water swim and this was it.
