OK, peeps I completed my First Olympic!!! Yahooooo!! It was fun!!! It was HOT!! Talked to others! Ran with a few! and right now feel good, just tired!
I will give race recap in full but here's the bottom line.
Swim: I survived, way off my projected time but got it done, Kinda disappointed here but that only means I can get better, right? Projected time was 36 mins, actual time fuckn (ratings, ya know) 49 mins! WTF. Was I doggy paddling out there, damn! Oh wel.
Bike: Avg. 19mph, felt good. I'm happy. Stayed in Z3. Again, happy.
Run: Freakn` hot! No Shade! Avg. 11:30ish pace.. I think it's just a little longer but somewhere in there. Mostly ran in Z4. Again, did I say Freakn Hot!!
Overall time: 3 hours 28 mins. Damn if only that swim was down by 15 mins! no what's if's right?
So not just getting cleaned up and gonna head back to H-twn.
I am happy I had good race even if my swim was slow! I did it.. truly 1 step closer.....

You set a goal and you conquered!! 1 step closer is right!
Excellent! Congrats!
Congrats Johnny! ALL your races are good races. Next!
I think you did AWESOME!!! I was out there doing a brick while you were racing...and 5 hours later I still feel mildly like I want to die. It was H-O-T out there today.
Many congrats and it was great meeting you. :-)
GREAT JOB! I think your a couple steps closer!
Take Care
Fantastic job!!! Hope you have a big ol' celebratory dinner and a sound nights sleep -- you should be very proud of your day!! :)
Congats on the first oly.
Congrats on completing your first Olmpic distance tri. Unfortunately I couldn't be in two places at the same time or I would have met you for the prerace swim and the race.
Hopefully, you'll return to Dallas to race again or we can meet up in Houston when I'm there to race in Tri 101 in November.
Stay tuned...
Good first shot at the Oly distance...fun huh?
You did great! It was SO hot, I would have died on the run! I didn't realize it was your first olympic...
Good job on your 1st olympic!
Now you have a benchmark to improve on. Gotta love the swim :)
Excellent job, Johhny!! Very well done.
Now on to the next one!
Congrats! Well done and what a huge step forward. You should never be disappointed with such an accomplishment.
Congrats! Swim may not have been what you wanted, but you finished and will improve next time!
