Pre-race routine:

okie, first tri ever..first transition ever..completely un prepared for either...
got up at 5:20AM..20 mins bbehind already..it was cold and wet outside..got things together and headed out..drove for 10 mins and realised I had forgotten my swimming goggles..drove back to pick em up..finaly got to the race location much later than others..
Event warmup:

none..bad bad..very bad..
running around looking for a pin to attach number bib..also wearing the wetsuit for the first time was kind of a workout in itself..
Swim
  • 16m 32s
  • 547 meters

Comments:

seemed longer than 500m adverstised..not too bad..got hit a few times by some overzeleous triathlete..finished relatively strong..also glad I was wearing a wetsuit..
What would you do differently?:

need to start training to breathe on both sides..go faster.
Transition 1
  • 04m 38s
Comments:

first ever transition..came out of the water fine..but then took sometime to recover from the hit I received while in the water..slight im-balance..took time to take off wetsuit..sat down..wore shoes..took extra time to find things..multiple issues overall as can be noticed from the time it took..
What would you do differently?:

-proper setup in transition
- keep goggles and helmet together
- try running to transition area
