This went really well. I have only swum twice this year for a total of 1500 yards prior to the race. As a note most people's times were about 1:30 faster than last year, the course seemed short. My improvement was 2:20

Not bad but I haven't really cycled much (like 50 miles total) so it was decent. Last year was 27:40.
What would you do differently?:

Need more cycling

Trouble getting socks on. Still can't run without them though. Did have shoes pre-tied so that helped.

Last year was 2:24 so improvement.

Although the turnaround seemed to be about the same place, everyone but me was about 1:30 slower than last year. The course may have been longer because last year's course seemed to be about 2.8 miles. I was 26:25 last year so I improved a lot. My standalone 5K has dropped from 26:02 last year to 22:28 on the same course a week ago, so it sounds right. I still need to be faster. I did put on a last second pass and so wanted to break an hour. Almost!!!
What would you do differently?:

Keep losing weight. 225# is still too much.

Event comments:

My tech shirt has a big snag in the front of it. I didn't look at it there. Emailed RD to see if there are any extras.
