Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jig

Props to anyone who knows where that quote comes from. :)

Back in Chicago today. Made the drive home from Kansas City after sleeping in until I felt like getting up. That was a nice 10 and 1/2 hours of sleep. Definitely does a body good.

Official results are in. I finished 118 out of 252 finishers overall. I came in 4th in my Age Group. The split the AG's into qualifier AG's and General Entry AG's. They also seem to have put me in the 25-29 AG. So that's 4th in the 25-29 General Entry AG. None of the 25-29 qualifiers are counted there. They all beat me anyway.

Still, I had a great race, and that's what matters the most. I'll be competitive in time.

Here's the *official* breakdown:

Swim: 32:46
T1: 2:09
Bike: 2:45:32
T2: 2:00
Run: 2:09:27

Final: 5:31:57

My parents were there, which was great to have them there on what turned out to be a really stellar race for me. They also managed to take some pics:
