Short swim while waiting for my wave (14th one) to go off.

Was hoping to be closer to 30 min - just need more consistency, and I haven't had that this season.

Suit a little stuck, but overall ok

Wattage was lower than I expected - was hoping to be around 280 watts, but came in around 260. Had also hoped for a time in the 2:17-2:18 range, and that probably would have happened if I had a better ride. Overall, decent for the training I've done this year, which is a far cry from what fitness I had last year.
What would you do differently?:

More training - sickness, travel, injuries, and moving have derailed things quite a bit this year.

Run

I honestly had no clue how this would go. My long run since Boston in April was one hour, and my IT band hurt a bit after that run. Surprisingly, the IT band felt ok - I think the bike helped stretch things out and warm up my legs.

This is about 8-10 min off where I feel I can run, but with only a little over six weeks of running in the last three months, I'll take it.
What would you do differently?:

Not get injured!

Nice place for a race. I'd like to do Timberman again, but it falls on the weekend of IMMT next year. Maybe I'll do it in 2016.
