Sorry, I did not understand this context.....did you say you were an official and DQ'd two kids in the 50 fly? Good luck to you son in the rest of the events!

My friend is the organizer for the Perth Sprint tri (pool). Swim leg was 500m in the pool and I said I was available if any team needed a swimmer. So she put me on a team with one of her 50 something buddies as a biker and the 11 year old nephew of her co worker as the runner. Well, we took the race win! The kid ran an awesome 3.8K run leg (don't ask me why this particular run distance!!!). He was super proud at awards for anchoring the winning team!!!

I decided to do the 500m swim leg as a 400IM + 100IM. Now that was interesting. I did not pace it that much differently than a 400IM until I got into my second length of the free and realized I better hold back or I'd die in the final 100IM. So I get into the fly leg after the 400IM and it did not feel that bad for 25m until I went into the 25 back at which point I felt I was going to drown during the under water dolphin....the 25 breast the death march continued and then I had nothing left for the 25 free....I was hoping to do a 7:20 + 1:40 for a sub 9, but it ended up being 9:05, but it does include getting out of the pool lane to the timing station.
