SANTA ROSA, CA - Jeff Brown, 44, unleashed his cycling prowness with a dominating performance at the Vineman Full Aquabike competition. The event featured a 2.4 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike (but no run). Jeff finished 1st overall in 6:30:54, more than 15 minutes ahead of the second place finisher. He swam a respectable 1:06, then followed it up with a smokin' 5:20 bike split despite losing some time when he went off course due to a missing marshall on the course. "I felt good and learned a lot for my first full Ironman in Florida in a few months." Jeff said. "Now I just need to figure out how to run 4 hours when I get off the bike."
