Good on you for finishing despite the pain, hopefully it was nothing serious. Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever. Still glad I had no serious pain, already my brain has decided that I easily finished my course and didn't work hard enough. Stupid brain.

How many athletes did you have in the event?

Thanks for the link to my report!

FYI...

TOTAL TIME: 1.48.07 (up from 1.42.50 last year, but there was an extra 2 miles and a hill on the bike)
Note: Numbers do not include those who DNF (Did not Finish)
Overall Place: 297/498
Place by Age: 41/57 (which I don’t think is bad, since I’m 39, racing in the 35-39 category...though I'd like to be stronger, next year!)
Place by Sex: 239/342

Cool sounds good, sounds like we are in the same ballpark!

Me too!

But I used a jet ski and a powered scooter.

I pity da fool who don't lurn from Fish's tale of tenacity, hydration, partial drowning and eventual victory.

Great job Fish - the race report is brilliant. Ah, linguine legs, worst and best thing ever. I can feel you on the grocery store thing. We'll go for a beer after most races, and that contrast is incredible. People inhaling pizza, burgers, and fries (oh, and beer), and it's just sad.

Great race, good work on the run. I could actually feel myself running right there with you.

Sorry I didn't get to this yesterday, away from the computer all day.
