Overall I'm pleased with my results, however my bike was slower than last year's time. It did seem a little more windy this year than last year, but I don't want to make excuses. I was planning on running a little bit faster, but apparently I had forgotten how tough this run course is (2 miles worth of lava rock and sand). I'm glad that I did better than a 7 minute mile pace though. My wife had a great swim and did much better on the bike than when she did the St. Patty's Day race just a few weeks ago...which is extra impressive since this bike was on a tougher course and twice as far. She started cramping in the run, which explains her time. She's typically similar to me in the run times, but she said she had to stop a few times to stretch out her cramping muscles. I'm still very proud of her.
I'll post pics when they become available.
