My knees are already feeling better. I know I can complete a 70.3 now and figure I should have worried less about pacing and pushed myself harder. With some work on leg strength and technique, I know I can shave at least 20 minutes off the bike and the same on the run. I could shave 3 minutes off my swim time as well with a little more effort and better sighting. Some slightly faster transitions and I could gain another 2-3 minutes. All told- I'm could see a near 5 hour time on my next one...
...don't tell Ellie.

Good job bro! I can't imagine doing so much in one outing! Please, please don't get eaten by a shark!
