 Swim
Comments: there seemed to be a lot more pushing and grabbing this time than in the past. I positioned myself near the front which was kind of silly given my poor swimming abilities and that probably explains the rough housing. What would you do differently?: need to get to the pool  Transition 1
Comments: Fumbled a bit with my helmet and with finding a place to put the wetsuit. Decided to pocket the glasses because it was so overcast which turned out to be a good call. What would you do differently?: Throw that wetsuit on the ground like I usually do, fool!  Bike
Transition 2
 Run
Comments: decided to wear socks this time. this is well worth the few extra seconds! I hit a wall around mile 8 and it took about 3 miles to snap out of it. Started out easy like I planned then picked up a bit from mile 2 until 8. Finished feeling better and stronger, just dont know what happened in the middle there for awile. Funny how running has become a bit of a liability for me the past two years, when it used to be my strength. Crazy injuries! What would you do differently?: More training. Post race

Up at 4, chugged a can of Starbuck's Double-shot. Made the first visit to the toilet and went out. There was a guy at the Hotel that had asked for a ride with me so we headed out a few minutes before 5, hit the DunkinDonuts as it was opening and picked up some coffee and bagel. Then off to the race site. I think that the race organizers scared the crap out of many of the participants because this was the shortest wait I have seen in the three years doing this race to get into the park. Parked the car and chilled with Ben for about 30 minutes drinking coffee and eating bagel.
