Good job, Ken.  You finished and you didn't get hurt, which are good goals for a first tri!  Don't fret about your times, especially transition.  With more practice and races it will only get easier.  The first tri is when you see what it is all about and all the ones after that are for building on the knowledge and experience you have gained.

And like Dave said, you have accomplished something that not many people can or will choose to do.  Be proud and thankful!
