Wow. Probably the worst thing i have ever done. I know i shouldnt have done this. i was not prepared. I really, truthfully didnt think i was going to make it. If it wasnt for a couple of sandbars on the backstretch i might not have. I was very ill-prepared for this but i did finish so...

Good Job Chris ~ Very respectable time.......some of us always have slow swim times

I did the race last year - the bike course is really rough.....not surprised you lost a bottle. You need to give the Tulsa Tri a shot.... The course is a little harder because of a few hills on the bike and run, but since those are your strong events you should do well...... The swim is a two-loop swim in a cove - not too bad. It's a great race.

Congrats!!
