Hey Barry - Good effort. You are right - riding in the cold can really take it out of you as your body uses up a lot of energy just trying to stay warm. But you perservered - way to stay with it....even if you did feel a little green at the end....
Hey Barry! First, how the heck are you doing? Good to hear that you are out there still doing some SOLID efforts. That weather condition sounded like it sucked, but you got it done! GREAT Job! Loved your race report with the vids included.
Wait, you're meant to be pulled *behind* the speedboat? I was pulling one behind me during the swim...
But seriously, great race out there Barry and great report.
As bad as I thought I had it on the bike at the time I later realized how much worse off FOP folks like you had it. Heard several accounts of people with borderline (or outright) hypothermia after the descent. Pretty tough to get the body going again after that so good on you for being able to do so!
Wow! You are one super fast swimmer! You fast guys really had it tough on the bike...I heard similar stories about just trying to stay alive on the final descent and being too frozen to even put on your shoes in T2. Congratulations on perservering through!

Seriously! I'd need to be pulled behind a speedboat to achieve that kind of time for 3.8.
Nice work, Barry.
