I did the first Splash and Dash (more like Sink and Saunter) this morning.Distance: 750m swim and 4km run.
Time: 47:09
The photo is of me half way through it. My wife thinks that I'm looking at my watch but I'm actually staring at that chick's butt. Guess what number I was?
Surprise #1: None of the men wear speedos. Well one other man was wearing a speedo.
I probably exited the water in the first quarter of the field (of about 250 apparently) and finished the run in the last 10% of the field (if that).
During the run, I was only overtaken. I did not overtake a single person myself. I now call myself the "feel good guy." I'm guessing that 75% of the field overtook me so I made them "feel good" that almost everyone (except me) overtook someone.
Surprise #2: I was bitten on my right baby finger by a crab as I was coming out of the water. I swam right up to the edge and my finger went into the sand and came out with a small crab attached to it.
Hurt like hell and I screamed like a girl. Well I'm sure it didn't really sound like that. It was probably a deep burly manly growl of disapproval.
