Took too much time. T1 and T2 are included on the bike time so I don't know how much time was spent here but it was too long.

The bike felt good and I passed a huge amount of people on all sorts of bikes such as cruisers and mountain bikes. I guess I was just too slow in the water.

I was bonked a little but kept running the whole time.

Do more running to prepare plus more bricks

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of time training. I had just started running and biking on March 18th.

Event comments:

I was bumped to 5th place in my age group and got a plaque. The 1st guy in the age group finished 2nd overall and that's why I got bumped up. I had fun and finished my first triathlon. There was beer and huge sandwichs afterwards. This turned out to be the best post race of the 4 triathlons I did last year.
