 Swim
Comments: Swim: waited until the folks started out a little bit then went in. Swam into the mash pit, swam through, made the 1st turn, didn’t look up until the 2nd turn (I was actually surprised where I was)! I had been following feet & bubbles. I made the final turn and there were 6 green caps in front of me, worked to get in front of all but 1. Ran into a bunch of folks from the previous waves on that stretch. Time: 15:05 Fastest Swim time ever for 800 meters! What would you do differently?: Pull harder on the last 100 yards.  Transition 1
Comments: Wetsuit off with the feet! Everything seemed good. What would you do differently?: Nothing  Bike
Comments: Knew that there were some folks in my age group still in front of me, went out strong, and passed 6 more folks in my age group. No one passed me! Time 34.42 Fastest bike time for 12 Miles What would you do differently?: go harder on the bike, I've been above 21.7 miles/hour now. Transition 2
Comments: Got back in, decided to put on my socks, then after putting one on my left foot inside out, changed my mind, got the zoots on & took off What would you do differently?: Don't play with the socks.  Run
Comments: Had fun for once. Saw C. Esposito after a ¼ mile or so, and he was about a ¼ mile in front of me, so pushed it to get to him. Joked & talked with him for a minute or two, then went for it. Hate the hill, but made it through. Time 25:01: Course record, fastest time is still at Kirkland (24:08), but I suspect it was only 3 miles. What would you do differently?: harder harder harder Post race

Seafair is the 1st Race I ever did, and this race got me hooked on the sport, but I haven’t done the race since 2007 and I was wondering how I’m fairing.
Pre-race: Woke up at 4:30 am jumped in the car drove around the lake though Renton, and got pulled over by a Renton cop because I took the turn around the Renton airport a little fast. Asked where I was headed, then let me off with a warning-Yea! Got to the transition area about 6:15 set up, and waited and waited (old folks wave was last). Talked with the folks around me. About 7:15 went for a run. Around 7:45 took a nice little swim out to the raft & waited until 8:10!
