Comments:

Swim went very well for me. I lined up toward the front of the group, right in the middle, hoping to find some open water that way. Normally I would line up to the outside but that seemed to be where everyone else was gathering. Felt calm and smooth, drafted a few times and passed a couple of men from the wave in front of me.
I have some doubts as to the actual distance, it seemed long. Looking at the swim times for some of the leaders seems to confirm this.

It is what it is. Getting to that age where "nothing is wrong but everything hurts" when I run. Took walk breaks every 5 minutes.

Event comments:

The new race directors have done a great job with "ramping up" this race from where it was a few years ago. Finishers pint glasses, great shirts, great post race food are all appreciated very much!
