Looks like a paid training day to momentarily test out a few items but does not go deep into the well.
He should recovery quickly from that 1:12 half marathon and 3:42 overall time 13 days out from Kona. Hopefully he lightened up on training load before so he's fresher than doing endless Kona bike and run course simulations.
The 2 min deficit swim over 2ish minutes kind of translates to 5 minutes over 50ish minutes. But it was current assisted so I am worried that his gap to equivalent swimmers in Kona would be larger than 5 minutes given he has no current, but ocean swells. On a plus note this was fresh water and Kona is salt water.
@Talbotcox, is Lionel doing the Hola swim in Kona this Saturday?
