Great report. The single most disturbing thing is that you're in my age group :)
You had one killer swim and run - I'd love to be able to 'sprint the first 500' and then just cruise the rest.
Be proud of your effort - there's always next year for 'pie in the sky'
And like UFTriGator, I'm curious about what happened to the bike? Seems suspicious you were getting a clicking and your computer wasn't working - could the sensor have gotten knocked?

Yeah sounds like my bike did a while back when the sensor on my fork got knocked around a bit and was banging on the magnet on the wheel...
Awesome job!

I checked the front fork and magnet. It wasn't making contact unloaded. However, I didn't try to ride it loaded. I was just too sore.
It seemed like it was coming from the rear. Maybe the cogset. I haven't unpacked the bike and I suppose it might stay in the box until I go to Clearwater. There, I might opt for a rear disk then I might find the issue.
I am curious though. I might tool around with it if I have time. I am currently in the process of moving and unpacking boxes so it might have to wait.
Thanks for reading

Kakman, I see you are from Australia... There were a bunch of you guys up there. Hill, Mergler, I was looking for Hemy and he wasn't there. I think the guy that won the age group was from NZ.
You have plenty of competition down under. I don't know what you guys do there but there are some fast Aussies that show up for Ironman.

I'm assuming they're age groupers - I haven't been around tri's long enough to know the names - although I did note macca, Crowie and the girls went OK:)

Hey oztrigal, are you related to oztriguy or are the names just coincidence? Just curious...
