Comments:

got into a pace right off, pushed into positive thought mode and fought off the evil "your tired, you cant run" thoughts. kept ticking off the miles. Pushed it as hard as I could.

saw tos heading in on his run while i was heading out, he looked good and I was that far behind.
What would you do differently?:

talc the sides and heels of shoes
Post race
Warm down:

keep moving, find some shade, catch up with tos about his race, found out I had beat him!!!!!! by 4 minutes!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

swim sucked (wish I could swim like my son, he did a 7:30 swim and he doesnt work at it) bike was good even for the old steel bike maybe w better bike I could have pushed over 20mph, run was good since I hadnt done much all week or worked at speed

Very happy w 9th in division! top ten!

Event comments:

good race org. super weather day! super fun time w my son racing.
