Horrible swim. Swallowed nasty swamp water and never could get into a rhythm. Arms felt like jello. HORRIBLE!! Felt like i could swim 16-17 min but fell way short of that one.

The Cervelo "phoenix" rose to the occassion although I didn't have my wireless computer working. Not to mention having it fly off my front fork. Luckily someone picked it up and turned it in, saving me a $70 computer. Without a tachometer or cadence monitor, felt like I had a good bike. Could've gone faster with a monitor though:)
What would you do differently?:

Go faster, much faster. Inflict pain on all swimmers in my age group!!!!

Felt like I could run 17:45 and after mile 1 I felt like I was going to do it (5:45). However I couldn't rid myself of a side stitch so I did what I could with a side stitch. I wasn't breating too hard when I finished unfortunately.
What would you do differently?:

Run 17:30-17:45
Post race
Warm down:

Rode my bike trying to find my wireless computer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lets see...swamp water, jello arms, no computer, and a side stitch. That's about it.

Event comments:

Should have finished in 1:13-1:14 but like the Cubs....there is always next year:)
