I rode the Gary Kirby Triathlon in Raleigh on saturday. I started 102 out of 201. I finished 13th overall in a time of 1:07:27.
I was 2 in my age group 45-49 and 11th of the men.
I passed 3 people in the swim. I passed a lot of people on the bike (30-40) and I passed 8-10 people on the run. No one passed me all day!
I had the 6th fastest bike ride of the day averaging 21.3 mph.
My next one is the Smile Train Triathlon on June 28, in Wake Forest.

A superb achievement, especially against lots of younger competitors -- Ironman, look out!
