Slow. Tried to put on shirt because it was so cold but couldn't get it on, put on shoes, then tried shirt again. Muttered a couple of bad words, acutally only one was bad, the other being ___ it!

Not sure of time but I felt like it was a great run. I didn't feel cold even though it was 41 and I didn't have a shirt or gloves. My fingers got real cold after the first lap. Distance was actually a couple of tenths more than 5k.
What would you do differently?:

Wear gloves.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around, got shirt on and tried to warm my hands.

Event comments:

This is a great local race. There were only about 20 competitors and a real casual atmosphere. Almost as many volunteers as racers. Plenty of food and drink.

What a great improvement on the swim time.  I can't believe you ran that just in the wet tri-shorts and weren't even cold.  You're my hero!

1:49/100.  That's some damn nice swimming.  Congrats on your race...even more for the swim.  I didn't realize a biathlon was a swim/run....I wonder what an aquathlon is then.
