It rained throughout the morning, raising concerns about the speed achievable on the point A to B bike course. Dave Sims and I took a taxi from the hotel to the swim start in the drizzle, barely made it to the start in time before the 1 hour waiting phase before the start.
The wet pavement and rains didn't seem to slow me down though. And the cool weather helped my run somewhat.
Swim: The swim was disappointingly slow for me at 28 minutes. I was hoping for 24 minutes or so. Simses was slow at 26 minutes so I didn't feel that bad.
Apparently it was long (1.7k according to Sims' garmin).

Bike: The bike was super fast despite the wet course. I broke the 1 hour barrier for the first time with a 58 minute ride. Of course the bike course has a downhill bit on the A to B course, but still I was faster than previous years. Including the 2 transitions my bike time was 1:04:29.
Run: The run felt pretty good. I ran a 44 minutes.

I ranked 48th overall and 13th in my age group. Once again my bike was most competitve followed by swim and run.
As you can see, I have plenty of bike companions.
