Ooh..
So I'm posting these numbers as a form of "deal with it" self-discipline. Too bad they don't rank by each discipline, too---I'd be curious to see that. I think they are fairly similar to my Danskin numbers:
Danskin swim 733 m, 24 min---I was at about the 33rd percentile there.
Federal Way swim 750 m, 25 min.
I would guess my bike placement was similar to Danskin as well, slightly above the median.
I think I must have been one of very few that walked the whole run. I did see plenty of women walking part of it but not all.
overall place: 324 out of 327
division place: 15 out of 15
time: 2:42:27
swim: 25:28
trans 1: 7:20
bike: 51:11
trans 2: 5:37
run: 1:12:53
Teigyr, yes, we DID do the start off the end of the pier. Great picture! I think I had more bodies around me because I was not quite as hesitant this time to swim in the pack.
Next year, I would so like to run the run. Even if it's a SLOW run. I ended up walking six miles yesterday, counting the mile to and from the site each way. Have big blister. Need to figure that blister thing out!
