He completed it ( + an extra 100m if Strava is believed) - average pace 1:19.
Fairly sure he was in a 33m pool if memory serves me right, so not sure how/why they’ve done an extra rep.

If it really is a 33m pool then he is still 101m short of 20k. Should have done another extra rep…

Haha good spot, this is what happens when people try to swim 20km and don’t run their plans via the TriTalk maths thread first. I mean, we’re providing a free service here, why wouldn’t someone use it? 
He needs to do another 3 lengths, but then technically he’s still 2 metres short so perhaps needs to at least push off from the wall after rep 202. TBH, best swim a 203rd just to be safe.

I think it’s Richie Porte the former elite junior triathlete?

didn’t know that - interesting 
MvdP turns up to his first CX of the season & all the riders I’ve been admiring for the close battles they’ve been having for the last couple of months are fighting for 2nd place within the first couple of minutes.
Commentators nightmare.
