OK - lets talk stats...

I did better than last year.  At first I thought I had done REALLY well.  But then I remembered they did take a length off the pool in the effort to conform to some of the new swim format.  So I reworked the numbers...  PHEW!!!  I still beat my time from last year... but only by 2 minutes instead of my original thought of 3 1/2 minutes. 
I can say that I am showing some consistency with the swim - about 2 minutes and 20 seconds per 100 yards - with not much change... 
The bike is consistent with 5 minutes per mile.  I will be curious to see how that changes with the new bike.
And the run - well the run went down considerably.  I would say I hadnt been consistent enough with the run.  Nor did I practice the run in enough heat.  MAN! was that hot....
One area of HUGE improvement - transition.
I remember when my friend's sister commented on working on my transitions.  I couldnt understand what she meant by that.  Now I know all too much what that means.  A significant portion of my overall improvement - or at least the offset to the run - was the transition.
