This was an ok swim for me...i thought i was faster but im happy with it...my breathing and navigation was good... I cant say that for everyone around me tho..i would navigate away from these two guys that were swimming about the same speed as me and as soon as i would steer clear of them and get me a good straight line going sighting every 4th stroke here one would come again cutting right in front of me...especially the one with the SNORKEL!!!! really a SNORKEL!!! im sorry but i dont agree with this recent rule change! How the F are we supposed to swim with these folks when they never pick their F'ng head up! They should go back to duathlon or have their own wave start....ok im done talking about the damn snorkels....

Snatched that snorkel

Bike was faster than last year...took about 10 miles to get my HR down but it is an olympic dist race so its pretty much all out the whole time..riding into the wind was good and nutrition was dead on....had to stop at mile 5 and restrap my aero bottle in....

Felt really good on this run..hadnt raced since IM TX 70.3 in april so it was good to get out and race again...met up about mile 2 with a fella named dave who is racing in kona this year...he was a lottery spot winner so we chatted and ran the rest of the run together

2 bottles water, endurox R4, 2 pieces of pizza


Where's the beer?
