Cold cold and more cold. Water temp probably in the high 40s. Not more. My feet were frozen instantly and never really woke up again.
I was not sure how and if the shoulder would hold up but at least I managed to almost be able top get it above my head before the swim. I don't think I can really call it a swim though as all movements were just made so not to be in pain in the shoulder...it worked out somehow.
I am most proud of the fact that I just went into the ocean and just swam. No freakouts, no nothing. 3 years ago this would have been impossible for me!!
I am guestimating the time to be around 10minutes but I also think the swim was longer than 400m!

Transition was OK. Ran out of the water and over the beach. Wetsuit off and shoes on and off I was.

Interesting run! My feet were so cold that I did not feel them during the entire run. Ran without sucks which is always a challenge with my orthopedic shoe inserts. Pushed it but not to the limit. No fun to do this without any competition. Legs were fine though and a lot fresher than yesterday!! :) Finished the race in 26:51 and won it as I was the only woman taking part! Went home pretty much straight after as we were so cold and wet so no cooldown or anything which was probably not the best thing but I just wanted to get home and in the bathtub!
