I told the winner of the pool predicting my 1/2 time from my olympic time that I would publicly state that they were a genius. (http://forum.slowtwitch.com/gforum.cgi?post=518020;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread)
Well Harkin Banks predicted 6:15 and I was at 6:14:37. So a genius he is.
The only thing was that the RD screwed up the course measurement on the swim by a full 15 minutes, at least. I should have swam a 38 and I got out of the water in 23 minutes (!).
Monty predicted it would be too hot, the Lake Geneva run is brutal and I would have to walk and would finish in 6:45. Well it was 92 degrees, the run was brutal and I got dehydrated by the end and had to walk the last part. The real time should have been about 6:30 but Monty’s description was best so I am saying he’s pretty smart, too.
