John, it was nice meeting you, way to jam on the run and bike, keep hammering away at the swim your too good of an athlete not to be able to swim faster, if you shave 3 minutes off that swim, which is realistic you would have been in the top 20 and 5th in a large age group. Way to good keep up the good work.

Great race man! I can understand the entire swim thing. I really need to work on my swim during the winter. I am not afraid of OWS at all, I just plain don't swim well or fast. I think if I can fix that I could be a solid MOP guy. So do you have any other races for this year?

BTW, how the hell did you get so freakin fast on the run? Try as I might, I just can't seem to push myself during races or training to get much faster than 8min miles, yet that is.
