WOW, Gary, Ithought we knew about all of the PP BTers.  Wish you could have hooked up with us. 

Great race though!  21 plus on the bike followed by a sub 8 min/mile run, DAAAAANG!  I am impressed!

Thanks. Yeah, I am pretty new to this triathlon thing so I am still learning to navigate through this site. As for the racing itself, I am hooked. This was only my second race and I was absolutely thrilled with the results. I really need to work on my transitions though. I could probably shave 2-3 minutes off of my time if I could improve in that area. I was most surprised with my run time. My legs were so heavy I thought I was on a 10 minute pace. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Maybe you could share some tips with me.

Yeah, you are really fast.  You can learn a lot on this site about transitions (we did).  Good luck in the future (since I don't think you're in my age group!)

Looking at your times, I think you need to share some tips with me!

But anyways....if you look at the bottom of the forums page there are group training and Who's Racing  forums, click on-I can't remember if it says USA or N. America or what...but then your state.  If you live near the WI - IL border look at both states because we cross state lines     Although I think our plans for this actually began in the general forum, then moved to the Challenge forum.  Really it got so convoluted that I can't remember anymore...it just grew like a weed or a mushroom in the dark....
