Lol...
Welcome back warden - sorry to hear you didn't make it. Deep/fast water freaks me out.

Jeff, judging from the chart alone, that looks like a fun ride. I'm due for some lower gears on my road bike - just don't have the power to run the top end of what I've got, so will be interested to see how much difference that makes in the hills.

1/2 mile swimming today. Several 100yd sprints, then a few slower laps to round it out. Tapering off for a sprint triathlon on Sunday.
