Swim: 12:04 No wetsuit for 784m (think GPS had this too long)
Stupid goggles. Got bumped within 50m and they filled up right away. Usually, on the rare occasion this happens, I can still see and navigate and just deal with it, but not this time. Tried a little water tread twice to fix but no luck. Kept going for a bit and couldn't see much so said f this and just pulled googles under chin. Lost 30" probably with this technical issue. Mad because I was on Andrew Taylor's feet. Good news is my swim fitness is better. Realistically an 1130 on that swim with nobody to draft off of and faster if I held feet.
Weird that they didn't make everyone going for awards non wetsuit and not just those going for world's. Ryan Power would've been ahead of Jesse and I would've win my AG. I talked to the guy ahead of me in my AG and he said he was wearing a wetsuit, so he wasn't going for world's. . I didn't make a fuss because I should have my world's spot and if they take my age up placing, because I'll be 50 next year, I should still be good because Andrew Taylor, who was ahead of me, said he already had his spot.
T1: 2:04
Dizzy. And slow running. Need to practice longer runs out of the water in my next SBR workout.
Bike: 27:50 for 18.4km (39.6km/h) Including 8 x 180 turns. 299W NP.
Deliberately stayed within myself because I was worried about heating up too much. Don't know if this was a good strategy or not because I wasn't satisfied with my run.
T2: 1:08
Run: 5k @ 20:15
Didn't do so well in the heat. Maybe a little gun shy mentally because I melted in the hear early on in the week. If my HR was any indication, and was accurate, I had a lot more in me.
