Time - It's all relative!

You can feel free to correct me on that one. My grasp on the niceties of both general, and special, relativity is quite tenuous. The more I read about it, the more it seems to me that space is actually the more relative of the two; I think time is just along for the ride. Please feel free to disagree though.
I am starting to think about my times during the Triathlon. I have never done this event before, and 2 of the three portions are quite new to me. In fact, I only last week began to have a clue of how long I think the swim is going to take. I will now share my current estimated times for completion
  • 500m Swim - 10 minutes

  • 20km Cycle - 43 minutes

  • 5km Run - 26 minutes

I really have no good data to back these times up, but that may develop over the next few weeks. In fact, it better, because time grows short.

I have also estimated that the time taken to fill out the online donation form for the Victoria Women's Sexual Assault centre will take 3 minutes.

Please try it yourself, and let me know what your actual time is once you have completed the donation process.
