So much for self-perception. Or else, something weird with their timing equipment? Who knows. To the results...
Anyway, my swim was a good minute slower than last year. This seems very odd as last year I stopped to rest twice and did large chunks as a slow backstroke; this year I didn't stop at all and mostly did freestyle... oh, well. 21:22, compared with last year's 20:20. I've swum that distance in the pool right around 18 minutes on multiple occasions, so I'm pretty surprised frankly.
Bike: 47:06, to last year's 44:10. Not surprised--the chain fixing must have taken longer than I thought and it was a bit hillier.
Run: 28:49, almost two minutes off last year's time. Still over three minutes slower than my best 5K time when I'm not doing a triathlon, but maybe this is one sport where my base-building is starting to pay off. Much faster than I thought.
And I cut 25 seconds off my first transition compared to last year, and 41 seconds off my second. So, not as much general lollygagging. :)

Congratulations! Your times may not be quite what you had hoped, but they're certainly something to be proud of. :)
