• Comments: It was smart that they cancelled the swim - the chop was huge and they couldn't have safely spotted any floundering. I wasn't prepared for the replacement 2km run - I'd planned on using the swim to loosen up the calves. There were probably 30 guys in my age group. I did ok on the initial run, but the cycling let me down again - just don't have the strength to power through things like headwinds. The final run, ignoring the injury, was ok - I had my Garmin set up properly this time and set and kept to a pace that didn't race my heart or burn me out.
