  • Comments: Overall good result considering the weather, I wanted a 1:03:xx (after being 1:08 last year) and ended up at 1:04 - 4 minutes better than last year, 3rd in AG and 18th overall out of 285 so not bad, 50-54 was really competitive with 1st and 2nd in AG under 1 hour (same 2 guys as last year), did not pick up enough on the swim, bike was slightly better which was fine considering the weather, picked up 2:30 on the run over last year which helped

  • Comments: Finished 4th in my AG, 18 seconds behind 3rd place. A better swim, a better T2, or a better run would have put me in a medal. Actually, at 202 lbs I could have raced Clydsdale, and would have taken 1st place by almost 6:00 (winner's time was 1:14:05).
