Well, Tim's swimming time was much better than he did in the practice run last Monday. Twenty-five minutes! (compared to 38 minutes in the trial swim)
Biking is probably Tim's strongest stage. One reason the guys wanted to do this triathlon was that it was a mountain bike race instead of a road bike. It ends up that the trail was packed gravel, so a road bike might have been better.
Tim did very well. He said that at one point he was asking for a banana at one of the stations and the lady held up a whole tray of bananas for him to try to grab as he raced passed. But somehow he missed and crashed! Anyway, by the time he finished the 14 miles of biking, his time was 11:19. Next. . . running.
