Don't know what the deal was. Felt pretty good but swam 30 seconds slower than last year. I'm getting what the deal is with my swimming ... I feel like I'm on a yoyo.

Way faster than last year. Not my fastest time this year, but not bad since I run mostly on flats. Again my right thigh was tight for some reason. Had to walk twice to let it rest.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster?
Post race
Warm down:

drank water / walked around / took pictures / ate breakfast

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Don't know in the pool.
My thigh gave me problems on the bike and run.

Event comments:

The timing chips were a pain. Felt like I wearing one of those things that calls the police if you leave house arrest. Rubbed a raw spot on my ankle. First time I've ever had that happen.

Good job out there. I have to say I laughed at cheese pizza for breakfast. That's right up my alley!

I agree with you on the timing chips -- too bad it looks like they are here to stay.

Great RR Brian, and congrats on your PR on the bike! You are a cycling machine!!!!

Your swim time is respectable, your bike great, your run is good and like you said -  you're killing the transitions. Way to go!!
