Swim must have been short, no way I can swim that fast. Otherwise, swam a pretty good line, sighted pretty well. Good thing I had my buddy Cappy there encouraging me on when I got out of the water :)
What would you do differently?:

For the first time in a wetsuit since Lake Placid last year, this was pretty good

They changed the course from previous years and made it much harder. It's a two loop course with one really long climb. Overall considering my lack of being on teh bike I did fairly well

long run from bike dismount

They changed run course from previous years as well. They advertise the length as 3.2 miles, but I measured it at 3.4 miles on mapmyrun.com. Ran with the same 2 guys for most of the way, then with 3/4 miles left, picked it up and dropped them, the reeled in to more people.

Event comments:

The changes they made from previous years made the race a lot nicer. Adding a swim waves and lengthening the swim spread everyone out a bit before getting on the bike and then modifying the bike course by adding a significant hill furhter strung out the bikers. Previous years it used to be a traffic jam on the bike. I'll definitely be back, and for $25 you can't beat the price.
