Athy Olympic Triathlon 2:29:40 [Certificate] [Results]

Swim - 26:53 (435th)
T1 - 2:15
Bike - 1:14:44 (381st)
T2 - 1:22
Run - 44:23 (288th)

Total: 326th out of 812
M40-44: 44th out of 117

WOW! What an event. Over 1,000 participants in the Olympic race and almost 1,500 in the Sprint. First open-water race in a river which was quite hectic at the start. Last 400m upstream were tough, but no general problems. Bike course was mildly undulating and wind was kind for once. Got very warm (25 degrees) on the run (which was approx. 400-600m short), but apart from sunburn no complaints whatsoever!
