Comments:

I have been training for IMFL and it showed the 1st 200 yards as I felt out of gas. Got my act together and felt much better the last 300.
What would you do differently?:

Not listen to the guys in my wave who claim they swim 8 min/per 500 and let them start ahead of you. I passed both of them in the 1st 100 yards.

I'm an idiot.

I swear it didn't take me 10 plus hours to swim 500 yards nor did it take me 32 plus hours to ride 12 miles!

Got my 1st hardware, was happy about that.

Nice race yesterday!  You got some hardware, Nice!  Sorry I didn't get to meet you.  Good luck at IMF!  Is that your first?  I did IMCDA a year ago and that was my first.  Brett here on BT is also doing IMF (Alpine87)  You should hook up with him!

You were smart to get there early for the fast lane. I got in line about 8 and didn't start until after 10. The RD was pulling out people that were saying they swam sub 8's and they were breast stroking after 100 yards. I was a little irritated by the time I started.

It was my 4th year doing this race. I like the atmosphere.

It is my 1st attempt at IM and I'm getting nervous. I've done 2 HIM's and survuved, so we'll see.

I'll have to look Brett up.
