Real nice job David.  I tried to adjust all my times since the T1 time is in the first run and the T2 time is in the bike.

You guys are fast!  I was really disapointed in my bike split.  I am not in the ballpark with you guys yet.  Wasn't bad for my first outdoor ride since Oct 2007 though.

I also figured out why I thought your friend was my age.  It did not dawn on my until after the race that I recognized him as the guy that racked his bike next to me in the 40-44 year olds rack.  I presume it was done to get a nice isle spot next to the transition exit.  Do you know about that? Honestly it seems like cheating but maybe I am mistaken on the facts as well as the intent.

So UltaFit knew he racked at another age group and was OK with it?  (by the way, I am not that upset about it rather I am trying to figure out what are rules and what are not).  It is not actually true about your comment on running the same in the transition area regardless of where one racks.  It is true that each rack is equal to another, but the proximity to the isle dictates wether or not one has to move further down a rack and both cover more distance and possibly get caught up in conjestion.  I thought (correct me if I am wrong), that the preferred postion was the first bike nearest the main runway (isle).  I presumed (correct me again if I am wrong) that your friend racked on my rack in order to get just such prime location since those positions were no longer available on his own rack.  If that is all true, then didn't he put me at the same disadvantage that he was trying to avoid himself, and isn't that cheating if their is a USAT rule against it which I thought there was.  BUT, you can correct me at any of my misguided arguements (such as UltraFit knowing what he did and OK'ing it because it is within the rules).

Some background:  I've already posted a thread on BT to discuss rules and rule violations.  In my first event I saw numerous violations and sharred my opinion that I'd prefer strick enforcement of the rules.  In my first event somebody actaully moved my back down the rack and put their bike first even though mine was already their.  So, now I have completed three events and once my bike was moved and once my prime spot was taken by somebody from another age group that I presume was unhappy with the only spots left on their own rack.

Thanks. 

By the way, when you were riding, you must have been seeing 21-23MPH into the wind and 24-27MPH with the wind.  I that close to accurate?  I really thought I was faster on the bike than it turned out.
