Comments:

The swim went great only got punched in the face twice before the first bouy, then at the first bouy the group I was with decided to doggy paddle around it and when I ran into them the guy right in front of me just stopped all together with my right arm caught between his legs which dragged me under,I used my left arm to shove him away and yanked my other arm free. After this I kept about 5 yards between me and the rest of the pack, and the rest of the swim went great.

Comments:

This was my first race on my new KUOTA K factor that Roni got for me a few weeks ago. The road is a little rough but very flat and for the first time I was catching people and passing them, only 2 people passed me,so I think going with a TT bike worked out realy well for me.It started to rain after my first lap but only lasted for a couple seconds but the wind stayed but it was not to bad.

Nothing

Again i'm not sure why i'm so slow one of my bike shoes had come off when I got into T2 and had to go back and get it but I thought i was quick about it who knows I'll work on it.

I'm very happy with this run I kept my head in the game and kept my pace right were i wanted it.Again this course is very flat maybe 10 feet difference from start to finnish so you can just fly, like a lot of people did.
