Some really fast amature splits yesterday at Charleston. Anyone have the accurate race distances?
The swim was the same as usual.
I had 53.14 miles on the bike. It was shortened due to one of the roads being underwater. I did this race in 2012 and had 55.44 miles on the bike. Its usually a fast bike: flat and few turns. The headwind for the first 25 miles made it a little more challenging this year.
I had 12.86 miles on the run. The course wasn't really changed as I had 12.91 miles back in 2012. Not sure why they make the run short. They could easily move the turnaround point to make it 13.11. All the mud and huge puddles made it interesting, though.
