Hollywoof! Before: Fun. Fun. Fun. After: My before comments were pretty much correct! Time and splits to be confirmed but.... had an excellent swim (Shiraz sprinted off but faded quickly so I caught her at half way and made it home before her - she got consolation prize of being first lady on the swim), a fairly strong bike (maybe around 32:30 which is over 21mph which is good considering the wind and the bends on the course) and an OK run (no idea on the time today). Almost made it back to the realy changeover as first pirate but JamesEarlJones is one impressive and fast runner - it's a pleasure to watch him zoom past!

Stumpy Before: absolute bag of nerves, what was I thinking?? after: what a fantastic day. really enjoyed it mainly due to the amazing support from the pirates. despite being one of the slowest swimmers (possibly THE slowest) and one of the slowest cyclists (possibly THE slowest) I enjoyed it. swim a steady 17 or so minutes (but luckily in a straight line, unlike some people.....) very slow transition (all a bit wobbly) bike was slow, but a good 5-10 mins quicker than I thought I would do (esp as was windy, rainy and hilly). and the run - I was happy my legs even worked, let alone managed to do it in around about 20 mins. and the run was the only place where I overtook people! The Pirates rock though. even the man on the PA system thought so. definitely the loudest and most consistent race support I have ever seen. big smiles here. even a day later. thanks to Hollywood for organising it and to Shiraz and Mr W for letting me drag the team well down the rankings. (but not to the wooden spoon tho!) FERC 1:32:00 76.54
