A few pics from Denmark:

Took bus out to Middlefart, Denmark from Odense, Denmark for the ITU World Championship Aquathlon race on Thursday July 12. It was a pretty ride with lots of nice scenery.

The race was held in the small town of Middlefart. Here is pic of swim area. We started just on the left and swam out along jetty until the end and then turned right and went inside the harbor and exited the water.
The air temp was 88 F and the water temp 60 F, so neither was great. And there were hundreds of jelly fish in the water. Everyone got stung including me with both hands, left foot and face - lips, forehead, chin, cheeks!

Panorama area along jetty

We started in the water about 100 m out from the beach on the left in the photo.
Race start was 1430...early afternoon...very different from US standards.

Hahaha...gave us Heineken 0.0 in our race goodie bag. Took me a while to figure it out but the 0.0 is 0% alcohol. Pretty funny. I saw some people pounding them after the race...they were giving out more...I am not sure if they had figured out the 0% alcohol thing. I think they thought it was regular after race beer garden. Hahaha

Hopefully someone got a few pics from the race. I'll see if I can dig some up. It was cool venue and lots of great competitors.
