6th Place Team Overall
Katie and I took 6th place out 13 teams. That's the top half! We were about 6 minutes behind the closest team, so I'm not sure we could have caught them anyway.
Run 1 — 4th out of 13
In the first run, I took 4th place out of all the teams' first runners. My official time was 14'19" and the next closest was 13'40". Could I have pushed a bit more and taken 3rd? Maybe, but I'm really happy with my run. The fastest time was 11'34", which is really fast. I'd like to say that I don't trust that time, but looking at that runner's time for the 2nd run, it's very believable.
T1 — Tied for 2nd
Katie and I had the 2nd fastest T1 time out of all the teams.
Cycling — 9th out of 13
Here's where things get a bit funky. Officially, Katie was the 9th fastest team cyclist. The 5th place team doesn't have bike split listed, and I just don't know where the time went. So, it's possible that Katie took a higher place on the bike segment.
T2 — 1st Place
We had the fastest T2, but once again, there's some funky data going here. I think we really were the fastest, though, because we were very efficient in trading the chip, and Katie booked it on foot with her bike.
Run 2 — 8th out of 13
The data from run 2 is less than reliable. 2 teams had Run 2 times of less than 10 minutes, which is not physically possible. Another team (placing 11th overall) had a 2nd run time of 18'56". That's much too fast for someone who ran the 1st run in 20 minutes. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I had either the 5th or 6th fastest run, accounting for these timing errors.
I'm really happy with our splits, and really proud of Katie for hitting a 16.3mph average in that terrible wind. There is also proof now that Katie did the race:
Look at her pass the fast-looking dude!

Uhh, correction... look at this fast-looking dude pass Katie. Thanks for the benefit of the doubt, though :-).
