Comments:

10 years of racing and that is the most I've ever been beat up on a swim. I got punched a couple of times and one guy pushed my back so hard that I ended up a foot under water.

I haven't been swimming because of issues with the endless pool, so I was really concerned about redlining and that start did exactly that. I would have been in trouble if I had tried to press on, so I grabbed a kayak for a brief rest. I didn't expect to be remotely in contention for a podium, so I wasn't worried about ti. Turns out that it probably cost me the third spot.

Seriously fast bike split. No idea what the power was, though, because I didn't have the cadence magnet that would have turned the PM on.

Not a bad run considering that I haven't done any speed work since The Rookie.

Bit of a weather delay, but that's not the organizer's fault.
