Lk Stevens Redux

I was asked if I could quantify the impact the water temperature had on my race. Being a data-driven enginerd, here's my analysis-

Swim- No ergometer in the water, but the horrible swim time says it all. I did all I could and all it got me was really cold.

Bike- Ah, the beauty of power data...
0-10mi, AvePower=199w, NormPower=209w
0-16mi, AvePower=205w, NormPower=212w
0-28mi, AvePower=213w, NormPower=223w, 1:19
28-56mi, AvePower=231w, NormPower=245w, 1:14

the numbers don't lie... I was hurtin'
16mi was about the point where I stopped shivering, and my HR started becoming 'normal.'
Taper switch is ON.
