Ok, the race results are up.
Swim: 25 minutes (dang, fast for me!) I was 3098 out of 3965
Bike: 45 minutes. I was 1723 out of 3965 (guess what I'm better at?)
Run: 49 minutes. I was 3669 out of 3965 (can you tell I walked?)
Overall standing: just slightly better than the run standing, so the walk during the run cost me the most. But saved my knee.
I HAD A GREAT TIME!!!!

Good for you for saving the knee. Very important. You must live to race again, grasshopper! Wow, there were so many people in that race! I've never been part of such a big tri. I wonder if "pace" refers to your run pace, ie, 15:57 minutes per mile?

Congrats!! Sounds like the whole weekend was fantastic. And you did such a great job for your first tri, especially one this big. The size alone might freak me out. and good for you for telling those girls off. They need to learn to be a little more considerate, especially in situations like these. What you ladies are doing is awesome, to beat something like cancer and then come back and take control of your lives enough to be able to do something like a triathlon is an inspiration to us all. Once again, congrats, and you rock!

Thanks for the detailed race report!
YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE!!!!
It looks like you had a great race! Congratulations!"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
