Did the Hickory Knob International distance (1500 meter swim, 28.5 mi bike, 6.2 mi run) yesterday in McCormick, SC. Splits: Swim: 25:11 (average: 3:21/200 meters) Swim Rank: 54 T1: 1:42 Bike: 1:24:45 (average 20.24mph) Bike Rank: 57 T2: 1:31 Run: 47:06 (7:43 minutes per mile) Run Rank: 51 Total Time: 2:40:14 Overall Rank: 54 The course is one of the hilliest out there, which made the bike and run a bit slow, but I had a blast. Probably the most fun I've had in a sport. Definitely hooked. Half Ironman in April is the next goal!
