I could have pushed a bit more here - I was worried about my back so didn't start out too strong.
What would you do differently?:

Warm up more and start at a quicker pace

Comments:

took me a few rotations to get my feet into the straps - I don't have the clipless set up so I had my running shoes to cram into the straps.
What would you do differently?:

get the clipless pedals and shoes.

Comments:

legs felt heavy at first - got better after the first half mile or so. Was able to finish pretty strong which makes me think I "saved" too much!
Post race
Warm down:

just walking around afterwards and stretching to keep from tightening too much!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was worried about my back having been in pain the whole previous week. I started the first run quite cautiously!

Event comments:

Great first experience! Loved it - just enough people to make it fun but not too overwhelming for a first time in a multi-sport event. I will do it again next year!
