Started the swim a little father up front than normal, and felt great. Pushed it a little and did not have anyone catch me or get to much of the washing machine affect.

Stayed aero as much as possible and felt good. Pushed the pace as this was my "Norman Stadler" experiment. Avg HR 166.

Comments:

First had a problem racking my bike, almost took the whole rack out. :) Then could not get the shoes tied, kept fumbling the knot. I have tried Yankz in the past and not liked them.
What would you do differently?:

Look for something else for laces, possibly speed laces for the shorter event races.

Comments:

HR was pegged for the run, Avg 175. Just pushed through the pain and kept going. Kept going because I thought cdf26.2 was going to catch me, every time I heard footsteps I thought for sure it was him. Thanx Chris, you pushed me to a PB.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Sounds like you had fun and had some good strategy....starting out front in the swim...and waiting for Chris to catch you to motivate you to go faster. You are fast...wow!! I wish I could have made it...and most likely won't again this year...maybe August. Great group of friendly people who are super encouraging!!
