15-mile bike - 53:01 (17 mph)
Transition 2 - 1:48
3-mile run - 33:45 (11:15/mile)

Total Time - 1:41:42
1st place, Athena Category (1st of 4)

Forgot my goggles but a lovely lady loaned me her extra pair.
Salt water swim was new for me, and icky, but not as bad as the weeds and crap at Cinco Ranch!
No one told me about the big bridge over the Intercoastal Waterway that we had to ride over twice! Hills suck. Road was a little too pothole-ridden and gravel-y for my tastes.
Run course was really nice and scenic.

Slower swim than last week, not sure why. :(
Slower bike as well, but I expected that since the course was along the coast and therefore breezy. The entire back half was into a small but persistent headwind.
Faster run than last week. :)
More hardware. :)

WTG! 500 meters in 10 minutes sound pretty fast to me, especially in the sea.

Rock on Beckster! Hey, a point - swim course distances are always very, very "approximate" so in truth it's possible you swam faster this week.
