3. Swim was fine. I am only mediocre so I think my time was around 32-33 minutes. No broken bones like last time.
4. Bike was very hilly with some climbs as long as 2.5 miles. It was fantastic. I passed so many tri geeks on TT bikes.
5. Run was very hilly which destroyed me. I am an ok runner but have been running on a flat MUP. The hills were pretty long and really slowed me down.

I had a goal of finishing in under 3 hours which would be easy on a flat course but very tough on this one. I believe my final time was 3:07:xx, which I suppose is ok. My tri friend who does ironmans and is decent in all 3 disciplines barely broke 3 hours.

I am bushed.
