Way to go, Alex!!!Being aero does make a difference in the wind, if not to your overall speed, to your comfort level. It makes me feel less tired, which pays off later in the bike. Might have got you that 3.6 seconds!!! Dang.
I would have bought your wetsuit 2 weeks ago... when you mentioned that it didn't fit, the light bulb should have gone on!

First I have to say that I take issue with this statment
I am 36 and not an old lady LOL!The old ladies (women 36 and higher)
Second you did great! Wow 3.6 seconds from 1st that is incredible but I can imagine that you are going through everything you could have done to make up those 3.6 seconds. Next time you'll get it but a great job non the less!!!!!

Excellent! That 3.6 seconds is painful, but second place is still very good.

OMG, 3.6 seconds? Wow, that's tough! I was beat for first in my div in my last race but it was by over 4 minutes, so I felt better that I wasn't even close.
That's a great report and you did a great job...placing be damned!

3.6 less wrinkles
3.6 seconds, that is totally cool, but I am glad you put on the sun screen, a couple of years ago in a tri in Miami, my mother who was watching the transitions from bike-run said I was the only person of about 1000 who put on sun screen...hahahaha, but I still would, even if I come in 3.6 seconds behind. It is also 3.6 less wrinkles!
