After a quick briefing by the Hickam beach they said go and it was game on. Although he'd never admit it, our friend Jesse is a fantastic athlete so I figured a win for me wasn't in the cards. My goals were to have good legs, perform to my potential and boost my confidence for my Ironman qualifier next month, which I did. So..... I came in second and Kristy kicked butt as always winning the womens race and placing 4th overall. Way to go! I think we talked the services guy into putting a swim in the ocean in front of it next time and have a straight up triathlon.
