• Comments: This was my best Olympic time to date but still off my goal by 15 minutes. I took 34 minutes off last year with better training and experince and I expect to take the last big improvement off next year. I'd like to get down to a 2:30 Olympic. This is definatly a race to do every year. It's crowded and hot but turning into a first rate race through scenic downtown Austin. I'd like to see a Half or Whole Ironman Race come to Austin and this might be the race to do it.

• Comments: Great race for me overall. My goal was 3:00:00. I thought I could reasonably expect 2:45:00 based on my training times. My actual time of 2:31:27 was a great thrill. If I do this race next year, I'll shoot for 2:25 or less. Just slight improvements in each area should get me there.
