4 laps of the lake last night, and thanks to my watch that survived the dunking, I know it was 3,399 yards long. That translates to around 2.1Km, so only 500m short. Time was 1hr 20mins,but that did include 2 treading water stops to ease the calf cramps -so painful! It took a good minute for the cramps to go away, but I figure it was good practice for when it happens in the race having had a panic attack 5yrs ago doing the same thing. That time, I genuinely thought I would have to give up or drown, but now I know I can recover if I try and relax and let it ease off naturally.
This means I have a good chance of doing the swim leg in around 1 and half hours give or take 5 mins. Max time allowed is 2hrs I think so I haven't got a great deal of contingency in there, although I would have to have an absolute disaster to miss the timecut.
