Transition 1
Comments: Not sure how they defined T1, but this was one of the faster times. I'll take it considering I took time to put on a long sleeve cycling top and squeeze my wet feet into socks. Bike
Comments: Cold! Managed a better speed than I thought I would considering the conditions. Transition 2
Comments: One of the better T2 times, happy Run
Post race
Event comments: This was probably the one and only time in my life I'll ever finish first! I was in the first heat and was probably sixth out of the pool. Passed everyone in front of me outbound on the bike and was alone the rest of the race. Pretty cool feeling to cross the finish line first. Of course, less than 5 minutes after I finished some dude from the second heat that started about 15 minutes after me came rolling through. Oh well. Cold and miserable weather, and the bike was legitimately tough with the wind, but reasonably well organized (a big improvement from last year, apparently). Will likely do again next year as the wife is an alum and she enjoyed getting back to campus. Last updated: 2009-04-03 12:00 AM

Stayed in hotel in town, got up for a bit of breakfast (coffee, OJ & PB toast) before riding bike to event about 2 mi away.
Try to get warm! Very cold and wet before the race. Windy too. Stretched a bit but mostly just waited for event to start.
