My swim wasn't great. I was second off in my lane, but the first swimmer went off like a rocket and I couldn't get close enough to get any draft effect from him. 'Fortunately' the two swimmers behind me were quite happy to let me do the work for the entire race. I thought a few times about letting one of them through to take some of the strain but I wasn't sure if they would drop the pace if they had to lead. So effectively I did a solo swim of 760m in 13mins 12. Decent time but about 30 seconds behind what I really wanted to do.
The strange transition arrangements at Turriff means there is then a run down into T1 that is included in the official swim time of 14:51.
This is the first time I have done Turriff on my TT bike so it was always likely to be a bit quicker. Out to the half-way point I was almost two minutes quicker. And coming back I made almost another 2 minutes.
The run was almost certainly longer than it has been in previous years. I can't be sure by how much because of bad garmin tracks from previous years. My guess is the best part of half a mile though. I definitely ran really well but the time looks to be about 2 minutes slower.
So apart from the run I went faster than previous years on everything. Taking the probably-longer run into consideration I think I went quicker for every stage.
