Comments: My first LAST in an age group -- ouch! That's a swift kick to the ego, if ever there was one. But to me that's fuel for my fire. I know I can do better, and this event will give me plenty of motivation for the future.
Also, I feel good for my upcoming half IM (Pigman in Palo, IA) -- the Whaletown course lived up to its reputation as an extremely tough and challenging course, and I came through it in good shape. This was just my 6th tri ever, and my 2nd mid-distance race, so I guess I can't ask for too much too soon. Heck, a year ago I could barely swim 400yds! I feel that if I keep putting in the hard work, the results will come. So, back to the pool...
