jumped in about 10th person in the water got right behind the two people in front of me and drafted as long as I could until I lost them about half way through. I stayed strong and had a great swim considering I haven't swam much at all this year I'll take it 18/193.

Comments:

the bike split included a 50-75 yard run with your bike out of transition and back into transition, this killed me I can not run barefoot right now, I lost at least :45 seconds here. I felt very strong on the bike today,I did not sweat bad breathing was controlled just in a nice zone. The course was good only about a 1.5 mile strech of semi-rough area and the 2 train tracks that you had to slow to around 10mph but the rest was smooth and fast
What would you do differently?:

nothing great bike for lack of training right now

I went into this race planning to walk since I have not run in 2 weeks do to foot pain. The 1st 1/2 mile was 9/10 on the pain scale and I just about stopped, but the guy in front of me started walking and he was in my age group, so there was no way I was giving up 1st place and decided to deal with it. As a popular song says what doesn't kill you makes you stronger I pushed on, I did not wear a watch and ran a fast as I could without making the foot hurt worst. I was suprised I averaged 7:17's it really felt like 7:40 or more pace, I just felt strong all day.
What would you do differently?:

nothing fix my foot, I gave away at least 1:30 on the run due to pain I believe I could have averaged at least 6:50 a mile today

So this race is why you weren't at Warsaw this year, Ron?! What happened to your foot? I'm sorry to hear you're having pain. You still won your AG AND averaged 7.18 min miles?! WOWSA! Congratulations on your podium spot! Thanks for your comments on my race report, too.
