Comments:

What a mess, people clearly with very different splits. Some much slower and some a little faster. Complete washing machine. I am pleased that I didn't let it upset me.
What would you do differently?:

Try to ensure I am seeded correctly.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Bike
  • 37m 48s
  • 20 kms
  • 31.75 km/hr
Comments:

The bike is the unknown for me. Having never raced bikes at all. The course was up hill one way and down the next. Pleased with how it went. The transition was difficult as it was uphill. So, I had trouble jumping on the bike and getting the feet into the shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Practice more on the transition aspect - particularly, if it's up hill.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Run
  • 88h 22m 57s
  • 5 kms
  • 17h 40m 35s  min/km
Comments:

I felt terrible and almost heaved. The course was up and down, down and then up.
What would you do differently?:

Drank too much on the bike leg, and I will only drink water in the future. Know the run course better, not knowing it for sure was a disadvantage.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My age! :)

People were very friendly and helpful. This was my first TRI and I felt most welcome.
