Comments:

I got caught up in all sorts of congestion at the start of the swim. It was horrible. Caused me to panic. breast stroke, back stroke. Finally I said, knock it off. I nearly went to the kayak and said screw it. But I decided to gut it out and just swim.
What would you do differently?:

I don't know. I got in the water and warmed up. I felt good in the water for that. Who knows why this shit happens to me? Once I started swimming though, I was doing just fine.

My legs were toast from the bike. I just hung on for dear life. I walked through the water stop and walked with Gary for a few seconds, then I ran it in.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. It is what it is. Every race is a unique experience- I gave it my all and that is all I can ask.

Event comments:

The timing issue stunk. I wish I would have put my Garmin on. Oh well. I had my stop watch and my powertap so I was able to figure out what my times were. What's listed here is what was on the website. As usual, great race, great friends at race. Always enjoy doing it.
