Nice report Archaea. Mark that one under reason #37 I will never do an ironman or half-ironman. I am a lousy enough swimmer that the 1 hour+ required to swim 1.2 miles would pretty well send me to a watery grave in temperatures like that.
I know what you mean about the jelly leg feeling. Getting off a bike and into running shoes is a strange sensation by itself. It takes (took) me about a mile or 2 to feel like I was not going to fall on my face when I started a run. Combine that with stiff joints from the cold and it sounds like a most unpleasant experience.
