Small keyboard, excuse any mistakes.
9th again. As nice as consistency is...it is hard and it sucks at times.
9th with a better executed race this time. Sub-par swim, solid solo solo solo bike, good run trhough mile 23. 9th place behind 8 europeans or british colonials. Kona spot is doubtful, but fingers are crossed and I will go to the rolldown. 8th is the last $$ spot too to throw some salt in those wounds.
10:29ish in 2001. 8:42ish in 2009. I wish I could find an investment with that improvement...I might be able to retire...again!

We watched for you to cross the finish line but Greg was interviewing these two guys and we missed you. I look fwd to your race report.
Congrats on your race! Don't beat yourself up, how many of your competitors have a full time well paying job and are happily married? I note you have not been pleased with your swimming this year in races, maybe your wife could give you some pointers.
Also I know you are nutrient deprived but your improvement over 8 years is 17%, a little over 2% per year. CDs can get you that rate ;-)
Great job! Man I know the 9th part may be a bit hard to take, but dude it really looks like things are coming together for you and you've got some really great "take-aways" from the experience. There is a lot to be said for the kind of consistency you have in that it usually precedes huge leaps/breakthroughs. Just keep doing what you do. Man, I couldn't be happier for you... Congrats!
