It felt like there was more running than swimming in the swim leg. I think it's about 500m down to the beach from the chutes, then a 400m swim then back to the bike transition. I was well and truly sick of running by the time I got to the run leg.

That's ok though, it has inspired me to get back into running the way I did about 30kg ago and that's a good thing.

I was in an IOOF team, we were the ones cooking the snags in the TriAlliance tent. Which company were you with?
