Postscript

Aquathlon results here: my final time was 1:05:32. I was 91st out of 105 finishers, which may sound terribly slow to some but seems to me at this stage of triaspirationality eminently respectable, I will try and place significantly higher up next year! 1.5K swim was 35:15 (I should have been able to do it at least 3-4 minutes faster if I had not swum so far out!), slow transition + 5K run 30:18 (I started my watch when I left from transition, I think I was doing roughly 9-minute miles but I did not turn the footpod on properly so I do not have exact measurements). Anyway, I am glad I did it, it was enjoyable...
