It felt great to be in my element.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was my fist triathlon - ever, first time swimming in a wetsuit - ever, first time racing on a bike - ever. Overall I was happy just to have finished, and I can't wait for my next race. I felt weaker than I thought I would on the bike.

Event comments:

Overall, a fun race, with a good support group.
