Still slow as a turtle, but working on getting stronger. A friend met me around the corner from the finish line and paced me in. Little did I know that was not "legal" ended up getting a 2 min penalty. Ah well, it was nice having someone cheering me in anyway!
What would you do differently?:

Mabey tell him to use a "bullhorn" instead :)

Good job. Glad to see you made it out to the race. Sorry about the 2 min penalty. Sometimes we just don't know all the rules and that seemed a little excessive. Around the final corner is not really pacing.

I've been in that lake a few times, and sick after each time...hmmm.  You had a great bike split!  I hope I can hold that kind of pace in my upcoming race..
