Nantucket Iron Teams Relay - Biathlon (swim/run)

I'm totally guessing on the time. for some reason, none of the swim/run times were reported. Doah! Anyway, a great swim off Nantucket. was supposed to be 3/4 mile, but given the headwind and chop, it felt like a lot longer. There were 37people in front of me at the start of the swim, and maybe 3 or 5 when I hit the beach. A few guys out there I just couldn't catch. Slayed the swim!

Argh. I guess I didn't zip it down the whole way, and the wetsuit got stuck such that I couldn't get it off my arms. felt like I was in a straight jacket. then, spent time wiping the sand off my feet.

zip it down all the way!

I had about as good a run as can be expected given that I really haven't been running. soft sand, and a bunch of wooden jetties to hop over. heck, it was like one of those tough mudder races. I passed a couple, and 3 or 4 passed me on the run- for which I had no response. body was redlined.

lack of run training. lack of wetsuit stripping training.


Had a hoot of a time being part of team "ACKupational Hazard". Overall- the team did pretty poorly, but my swim went well. I was flyin'. Got a nice neck hickey from the wetsuit. Then- got stuck at the beach without a ride. hitchhiked back to the Jetties. All worked out. fun fun fun.
