40 km!!!

(Tony, behind, being paced by Andrea in yellow cap in front.)

In 15 hours 22 minutes. I'm continuing to extrapolate a time around 10:15 p.m. - less than an hour from now!

37 km!

In 14:48. He's moving along. There's some thought (well, Dave thinks) that Tony may swim better doing 8:xx 500s. He's also taking 15 seconds' rest between 250s.

Anyway, he's now 88% in, and has only 5.2 km to go. I'm continuing to extrapolate a finish at 10:30 p.m.

Who doesn't love a good bit of spreadsheet work?
