T1 and T2 were not timed. The bike split included T1 & T2, including the run from the lake. My watch had my true bike split at 50mins (19.2mph).

It took awhile to bring my HR down after the swim. Then I settled in and did ok. I wasn't passing people but I wasn't really getting passed much either.

I would like to see the race timed via chip timing. Otherwise it was a great day, well organized and a lot of fun.
