Swim 41:27: Good first half, got noodly in the second half.  Zero viz. Who thought blue buoys was clever?  T1: Golden. Long. The shoe trick worked. Bike 1:16 including transitions I think: An hour and more of playing Wipeout on the bike.  Fast, twisty, with tunnels and ramps. No weapon power-ups. Went out hard and fast. T2: Oh, I can run in those shoes if I have to. Yay.  Run 1:04: I checked my soul in T2 and sent my corpse out to shamble round the run.  Run and walk in the hot sun / I fought the nause and the nause won.  Total 3:11.  Full writeup and photos to come once I'm back at base camp - am still at Charlotte & Liz's making their spare bed smell like wet dog.

Is it true that the docks on the Isle of Dogs are full of dead dogs?
