My swim was 10:40, which was really good for me, especially when you consider that about 35 seconds of that was walk/running to the pool and from where I exited the pool around the whole leisure section of the pool to the mat where my bike time began. In other words, I swam in about 10:05. I recently applied 2 improvements to my pull on my front crawl which took about 1 minute off my 500m swim time.
I borrowed Ken's bike a couple of weeks, and that really helped my bike time. My bike time was 45:58 which placed me 11th overall for the bike and 2nd fastest for women. This was a big change from Magrath where my bike was really slow.
My run time was 21:43 which looks good on paper for a 5 K but all the times were wicked fast, leading me to believe the distance was not reliable. I was hurting on the run, and finished 5 in my age group, and 14th overall on the run. I haven't been running much lately due to my sore feet. My overall time was 1:18:22.
Raymond did a great job on the event and I had a lot of fun. I really, really like triathlon. I wish it had a longer season and that I could do a lot more of them.

Crossing the mat the signals the start of my official bike time. I was the first one out of the water in my heat..but the truth is I actually had the 2nd fastest time in my heat since we didn't all start at exactly the same time. I had the 8th fastest swim overall, 4th fastest for women.
