Ocean conditions were much better than last year. No noticeable currents and water temp around 65 degrees. The course also had only 1 buoy that was farther out instead of the standard 2 buoys. This simplifies the swim but allows people to cheat by running down the beach before entering the water, thus shortening the distance of the swim. I chose not to cheat. On the run I walked once for 20-30 seconds at the half way mark through the water station.
Last year's effort, my first, took 1:37:37 in which I was 27th of 31 Men aged 50-54, 428th of 572 overall. Of course, I did ride Mrs Sladed's mountain bike and had to walk the 2nd half of the run with a calf strain.
