Lost my good swim standing during the bike ride. Had lots of people pass by. My pace was 1 mph above my training rides but got passed like I was standing still by some. That said, there were also people behind at slower paces so for my first Tri, I was happy and learned some things.
What would you do differently?:

Lots more training on the bike.

Comments:

My first triathlon. I thought I was going to keel over during the first 3/4 mile. In fact, a fisherman with a cane may have walked by me. :-) Legs then loosened up and I paced behind a guy that really got me through the rest of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Train, Train, Train.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around the lake.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

New to the sports of biking and running.

Event comments:

Great race for first triathlon. Very laid back and friendly. Met some nice people and had a great time. If you are in the Northwest and want to try a triathlon, the Elma races are a great start.
