best swim I've had yet. spotting was dead on. I felt fast, strong and in control. It was an excellent set up for the rest of the race.

Comments:

slowest 5k on record for me. didn't run that slow as a freshman in high school. just shows how beastly the course was that after the bike I wanted to die and still had a 5k to go. usually I never have that kind of thought run through my head.
What would you do differently?:

get out faster, get the legs loose sooner, run till I blow up. it's just one race anyway, may as well see what it takes to put me in the back of an ambulance.

Event comments:

Good job!  It was pretty hot that day.  I'd take a 21:52 5K any day of the week.  But then again you're over 1/2 my age so ..... Oops the 50 year old woman who finished 2nd to me on Sunday ran a 20:43 5K.  I guess I can't use the old age excuse.  I'm just a slow runner in comparision. :-)

Congrats on the hardware.
