The Big Swim with about 50 of us at Manly. Organised by one of the NRGers to encourage new people to give open water swimming a go. I did the full distance whichw as meant to be 3km, but I did a couple of extra laps going back for slower people and I racked up nearly 3.7km! Splits as follows:

1) 750m - Manly to Shelley Beach - 13:16
2) 800m - Shelley to Manly (pluis extra) - 12:22
3) 1.2km - Manly to Queenscliff - 22:37
4) 750m - Queenscliff to Manly - 14:46

Wow this is ridiculously fast! What have you done since the IM to gain this kind of speed?? You haven't got the equivalent of your bike in wetsuit form have you??

Yeah I don't really know Luke... I took the Garmin numbers and I know the first two sections were spot on (given lots of people swim that section). I think that the 1.4km is an overestimate, but I kept swimming back and forth to check on the slower people so I can't guess how far I actually went! Also, conditions were friendly which helped.

It definitely must have overestimated looking at it again... I was half asleep this mroning when I checked my watch! I don't have a new wetsuit although that would be awesome! I should have a proper look at the Garmin Connect and see where it thinks I went!

I would need a wetsuit with a motor (or a boat) to go that quickly! Really impressed! Do you even have a weaker leg in a triathlon anymore?!?!
bigfatjoe
That is the plan... I am looking forward to the half ironman at the end of November to see if I can be good at all of them!
