Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just jitters maybe...but, they were pretty much gone once I was on the bike. VERY nervous during the swim, and T1. Got into a groove and felt confident as race progressed.

Event comments:

Felt great! So proud of myself! I don't know if any race is going to beat my first race. I really have an overwhelming sense of accomplishment right now... :)

Course: Passed two people, got passed by one. There were cars on the road, and a couple of them were jerks and tried to run my over. As I was coming into transition area and getting ready to get off bike to go over mat, cars were in front of me trying to get into the gym...this slowed me down considerably and it should be better organized.
