Good swim. Started off strong in hopes to get a head of some people but that didnt quite happen. Lots of good swimmers in the water today. Kept it pretty easy for the first lap and went in easy on the second. I tried to pick it up for the last leg and passed a few people and left a few more behind that I had been with from the start of the second lap.

Went really slow. The climb up the beach killed me and I was just taking it really easy. Took my time and got off in an ok time

Really felt it on the first long hill. My legs are still wicked gassed. I tried to push as hard as I could and keep a decent hr without totally blowing up. Felt less then good but I think I had a pretty good ride dispite how bad my legs felt.

T2 was much better. I am glad I used my shoes with the Yankz. I had some trouble with my socks, I rolled them and put them on upside down first and had to switch. Probably wasted a few seconds.

Shocked at that run pace. I felt like my legs just were not moving. I gave it all I had and pretty much left it all out there. No problems with a sub 7:25 pace. Would have liked to go closer to 7 but with less then fresh legs I will totally take that time.

Quick soak in the lake and lots of walking around

Love this race. It is getting better each year. I would urge anyone to do this race.
