Was too close to the front, so I got crawled up on a little bit. I pushed a little too hard to get away from it and gassed a little bit. Had to slow down and get myself under control.

My first triathlon was at age 56. At first I was just the cameraman at my daughter's first triathlon, then I am doing the races that she has done.

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.
