Event comments:

My first race since knee surgery 4 months ago. Passed the test with flying colors. As usual, I was the tallest guy there (6'7"). When I left the pool, I was handed a towel by a guy wh was about 6'6" or 6'5". No reason and he didn't do it for anyone else. Just tall guys sticking together I suppose. Talked to him post-race and found out he had ACL surgery 5 months ago and this was his first big test too. He nad his fiance both did this race. Just a nice guy. Love triathletes, what a great bunch of people. Made a lot of friends today.
