Good race...they announced the water temps pre-race as 59F (what I expected), but according to my wife (who was volunteering at the finish line all day), the "official" final really-real temp was "60.4"...which I believe.

Personally, went out hoping for about a 2:26 or so, ended up at 2:28.  Third in my AG (of 56) on the run...PR Oly tri run for me (course was quite short or it'd have been my overall 10K PR).  Also my fastest avg speed on the bike for any distance (still pretty slow, though).

I was tying to find some of you guys, but it was time to meet at the main stage. I really like the course. I was surprised with the amount of hills. They stung a bit but it was good. Iwas hoping to go 22-23moh on the bike but the hills slowed ke down. My goal for the course was 230 and i managed a 229. Rr willl be uo soon bib 162..definitely goin to do it again

We had a good relay. I did a decent swim and our cyclist did a 1:04....but Ashley ( my girlfriend ) had a sub par run and we ended up 4th.

Had a great time. First time I've done a relay and it was super fun...way less stress than a normal race.

It was so weird coming in and not having to get on the bike...lol.

It was good for me too, though I came in last in my AG, swim was great, though water was cold. I agree with the hilly bike, that cost me quite a few places. I finished faster than my last Oly, and kept on my pace goals for my run. As I was leaving I got to see the last finisher come in...a guy, so he was at least 3 waves ahead of me.
