Mass start swim of 500 yards went well though my transition was a bit slow. Fast bike, averaging 18.8 mph. I caught third place riding into transition but he got out ahead of me. He ran hard for 500 yards and then slowed dramatically and I shot past him. Pushed hard to stay ahead of him and had the fastest run in my age group; 8:36 splits. Didn't catch second though so I finished third; Glen Fritz won with Lawrence Tomsic second. Overcast throughout the race so it was comfortable. Always happy with a podium!
