I'll post a full race report later but here is what you really want to know anyway ;)

Results: 2:38:56 (official chip time)

Photos on Flickr - Jason was amazing and biked throughout the course taking pictures of us.

In lieu of a full race report, here are the live updates I posted during the race to my twitter account via TwitterFone. These have been edited to correct mis-transcriptions when it couldn't make out what I was saying (probably because I was breathing too hard =P).

• (6:15) Driving to the race site. Will try to tweet my splits with Twitterfone.
• (6:21) Maybe not every mile, but at least each 5k or so. I may be too distracted though :)
• (7:10) About to cross the start line. Here we go.
• Mile 1 14:50 clock time. Garmin's in the fritz, so no net time.
