woke at 4 and went down to get dressed and have my drink. Kristin, Brad and I were in the car by 4:45 to make the long trek to Sandy Hook.

No real warm up, got transition set up and went to join the port o potty line with Kristin (thanks for holding a spot for me) and went down to watch the peeps start the swim.

  • 3.1 miles
  • 07m 50s  min/mile
Comments:

Beat my run time by over a minute from last year, but finished overall :10 slower. Gotta work on my biking for next year. course was a bit wacky as people weren't sure (???) if they completed their 2nd lap. That will never be my problem. Seriously, how could you not know if you passed the loop section or not? Dummies.
Post race
Warm down:

Waited for K to come in (she started 6 waves after me). She got 2nd place in her ag. Yea!!! Ate a dry bagel and banana.

Event comments:

I think this is the last time I will be doing this race. As much as I love spending time with Karen, Kristin and Brad, it is a bit far and I missed Luke's football game today. Too late in the season for me.
