Yeah I know why the field was so fast: the short race is also a 40K bike leg but with a normal 500 swim and 5K run. So someone who is not really fast might prefer the short.
So all the other slowish cyclists were in the other race :-) (i don't care, I had 10 ppl behind me when my usual goal is to not be last)


Other events, if you wanna do a 40K bike because the 20 is not "tough enough for you", you have to do the Oly.
