The swim seemed a bit long. I've never swum over 37:00 for a half-iron swim, but I was almost 5 minutes slower here. Very surprising.
What would you do differently?:

The obvious . . . swim more

Nothing to say here. I flatted out at Mile 6 and then blew my spare tube changing it. My day was done WAAAY too quickly. The rest of you out there looked like you were having a helluva good time, though!

Thanks to everyone who offered me a tube. It all just came too late to make much of a difference for me.

You weren't the guy with the Cervelo I saw walking back in, were you? Either way, flatting out sucks. I was surprised at the number of flats out there. I'm glad I avoided that. There weren't nearly as many flats on Saturday.

Nah. I was the barefoot guy in the Texas Iron jersey walking the blue Guru. Six miles is a LONG walk.

Wow, total bummer out there.  But it's still early in the season, so you've got plenty of race left in you!  It'll make you more hungry for the next one!

Aww... geez.  Really sorry to hear what happened.  Wish I could have thrown you a tube or some other assistance.  I hated seeing folks standing on the side of the road.
