71 - did a great swim for me at 6:21 - that is a PR.  You lost me on the bike I am sure - and well put a nail in the coffin during the run.

Great race! Congrats on knocking almost a minute off your swim time from last year, that's a great improvement. Sorry I missed getting to meet you but hopefully we'll see you at an event down the road.

nice swim there Grady!  Yeah, shoes can be an issue.  lol.  Enjoyed meeting you and Linda at the pre-race dinner at Roma's.  I hope to see you and Linda at future races (and maybe a training ride now and then).  :-)
