Wow!  Awesome times on all your events (even with the tide working against you).  This really sounds like a good race so I'll have to put it on the calendar for next year.  Good excuse to take a long weekend with the family at the beach while we're out there.

My wife (crazy train) and I will have to bug you over the off-season for tips since we're local!  We're still way too new at this and could use any advice we can get. 

Congrats!

Rob

I'm sure that you swam right over me and all I saw of you after that was your wake and dust--Congratulations!
