White Oak Triathlon 11/7

Final warm up race before IM Switzerland.
Good steady swim nearly catching the guy that started just after me.
Winding bike course was interesting. Included one very minor country road that thankfully was traffic free as it was only single track. Met the Dartford half marathon coming the other way which caused a traffic jam that I had to negotiate. Couldn't believe that I came across a set of traffic lights a mile or so from the end. I reckon it cost me about a minute as it was 3 way and I was stopped for ages. No marshall to credit time and the referee at the finish said that the lights had supposed to have been turned off. Didn't really change the final result but I still feel a bit annoyed about the stop. Had a good run without killing myself and finished in a time of 1.18 for 4th overall and 1st vet 40.
