Just finished my first race of the year yesterday. The Manitou Sprint Triathlon. My time was 1:34:06. I was hoping for 1:30 or under, but I just couldn't do it yesterday. Next year!
Bad news for my other tris this year...some pain in my knee for the last ~3/4 mile...puts the Half Iron I'm planning into some doubt.

We'll see how things shape up for the rest of the week, though.
...oh, and I DID find bike shoes to fit my clown feet...got a pair of new to me SIDIs on eBay. Love the move to clipless...I feel like it has made a huge difference in my power and efficiency on the bike.
