My first Half Ironman and boy was it a tough experience.  I had a good time but the bike was brutal and that meant a brutal run.  Not sure I want to do this course again anytime soon.  The swim was great and the water was PERFECT!  Overall I had a great time and plan on doing many more of these, just not the Pumpkinman.  Did not like the crazy bike course.  Here are the overall times: 

Swim 1.2 miles:  43:13

T1:  6:30 (had to give the wife and kids a high five after the swim)

Bike:  3:31:58

T2:  4:45

Run:  2:18:47

Total:  6:45:12

Look forward to another one next year!
