I hated the swim course! It is shallow. People walked/ran to the first bouy. Swam a little then walked/ran back in. I tried to swim most of it. I'm sure I would have placed better if more people actually swam the swim course.

Go out a head of the walkers!

Nice race! 

I was thinking about going back home to do this next year, so it was good to hear some about the course.

For the record, do you realize you put in 45 HOURS for your bike?
