Time is an estimate but if I take my total time of 21:44, substract the run (13:03) and the 1min transition then it is probably correct. Good swim and I pushed the entire time....I think I was 5th OA ouf of the water which surprised me! Ocean temps was 14,3C (57F) which did not feel cold at all but I was also wearing a wetsuit.

Out of the ocean, up the stairs and then out of the wetsuit as fast as possible. Shoes on, grabbed my visor and Garmin and off I went.

Comments:

I should have been able to run this faster. I was running slower than last year and it does not make any sense!! But I could not have run any faster....was right at the limit the entire time and had a hard time breathing. It got a little easier after the turnaround as we had tailwind back and the plan was to run a little easier after the turnaround once I knew that I was still in 2nd. But then I saw my friend who was just about 20 secs behind me at that point and I knew I needed to keep running fast. It got a bit warmer after the turnaround as the wind was not cooling you down anymore....not sure what to think about this run....
HR was messed up during the first km so I adjusted the avg.

Warm down:

Total time was 21:44 which is only 18 secs faster than last year. But I think the swim this year was also longer but last year I did not swim in wetsuit...very weird.
Anways I got 2nd OA (after the unbeaten best Triathlete of Iceland) and first in my AG and I won my husbands 1,5lbs of chocolate! He was really happy especially as he chose to train rather than take part himself... ;)
