What limited your ability to perform faster:

Broke arm in December and missed 3 months of training. I also weighed 218 which is probably the heaviest i have raced since my first year. First race of year is always challenging.

Event comments:

I love this race, good course and best post race party. That said, the organizers have got to do a better job of organization and bike course managments. The long swim upset alot of folks.

Nice job at what had to be the coldest Mullet Man to date. Will have to meet you at one of these local races. Probably talked with you without knowing who you are on BT. I had several of the fast swimmers tell me they estimated the swim at 1/2 mile. Tough conditions all around. Good work. Grandman next?

Good job on the race!!! That water had to be freezing, it was a pretty cold day for our area for sure, especially after the warm spring we have had.
