I finished 332 out of 427 in 3:11:11, which was close to my prediction of 3:03. I can pinpoint where the extra 8 minutes came from...exactly. I predicted the swim at 25 minutes, I did the swim in 34 minutes. The short story on the swim is it was cold, it was choppy and I panicked.
The one thing I wanted to mention for sure was that I easily, and I'm saying EASILY won the award for best cheering section of any other competitor. Mrs. Gias came out with both B & G, my dad, both sisters and their husbands and my mother in law were there...with signs...and themed snacks...and loud cheering. It was awesome. Huge thanks for taking the time out of a Sunday morning to come support the Geek on his silly little New Year's resolution. You all are the best.
More to come...

open water is interesting and takes some getting used to.
I'm still very impressed with you and your accomplishment - wouldn't have missed it! (Although, I can't guarantee my presence at the entire July one - that sounds hot...) Congratulations - you should be proud.
