The start was delayed 40 minutes so the fog could lift. It was a typically cold but relatively calm (for the ocean) swim, the bike had a slight headwind on the way out & tailwind on the way back, and the run was under clear skies and a rapidly warming sun, although we finished before it got too hot (high of 95 today).
My race:
Total time: 2:24:11
14th out of 70 Men's 40-44
72nd male, 82nd overall out of 702 finishers
Splits:
Swim: 21:02 (1st Men's 40-44, 13th overall)
Bike: 1:08:25 (21.7 mph, 16th Men's 40-44, 102nd overall)
Run: 49:08 (8:03/mile, 29th Men's 40-44, 227th overall)
This was my 6th time doing this race, and I've never been under 2:36, so I'm thrilled with the results. One more Olympic this season (Marin on Oct. 31), then the Cal Int'l Marathon in Sacramento in December. Than I'm strongly (strangely?) considering another Ironman for next fall!
All for now!
