Comments: My first Olympic distance race. Endurance is clearly there and I felt strong througout. Swim was slower than I wanted but felt easy and relaxed. Bike was also steady if slow, and run felt good even if (you guessed it) it was slow. Overall a good experience. I was aiming for MOP in my age group and at 17th out of 27 you could argue I made it. Just a couple of minutes faster would have gained me several places.
Hooray for a Midwestern race with temperatures NOT in the 90s for a change.
