Comments: This ended up being an awesome race for me. I made the podium in 2nd for my age group for the first time ever. I was exactly 2 minutes slower than first place and he really beat me with his bike otherwise we were fairly even. Even with a bad swim, I was almost 2mph faster on the bike than I had hoped for. On the run I would have been happy with anything less than 9:00 but sub 8:30 I thought would be a little bit of a stretch for me. Coming away from this race I really want to improve my swim and get those times down. I know I can swim faster, I just need to learn to execute my plan better when it comes time to race.
