To avoid pain and injury they chose the path of least resistance – the “tri-it” event (one leg each).  Alex floated his way through the chop, Paul claims he rode solidly and Ben dawdled swiftly to the South Mole and back.  Paul and Ben actually improved their times from last year.  They came 28th out of 90 or so tri-it teams and Alex was heard muttering “That was rigged. The other teams trained”.  A well-run event and a lot of fun.
