Turned out to be quite a distaster!!!

The waves were SUPER high by the time I got in the water. I have never been in the ocean with waves that high before. Not even half that size. There were many competitors that turned around and went to the bike. I'm not sure why the organizers even allowed the swim to go on. However, I went in and stuggled for a good 15:41 before I gave up myself. I swallowed a lot of salt water and lost a lot of energy.

So,
300 yards swim -- 15.41 (I didn't finish, but no one needs to know that)
Trans 1 -- 3.39 (I just wasn't into it)
10 mile bike -- 36.01
Trans 2 -- 2.1
3 mile run -- 24.3

Not a satisfying experience overall.

Thanks for all the helpful advice.
