swim_exit
No wetsuits allowed! Somehow I'm smiling after that swim. I must be crazy.
t1
About a minute after the previous picture. Got my bike and ready to head out for a nice little ride.
bike1
Slight hill/incline out of transition area, so I only managed to get one shoe on. Had to wait until I crested the top to slip on the other one.
bike2
Both shoes on now, and getting down to business. Just under 40km to go.
bike3
Almost done with the bike, got one shoe off, heading back down the hill into transition.
bike4
Still heading downhill to transition ( it was a long hill ).
run1
Midway through the run. Not grimacing near enough here, I should have been pushing it harder.
finish
Crossing the finish line. 2:29:47 total time, with a new PB ( by about 30 seconds ) on the run. Got a good grimace going here!
