forgot to get quick laces just perfect and couldn't get a hold of one to pull tight, cost me 10 seconds, socks were wet somehow

double check laces out ready

Comments:

started very slow trying to catch breath, very slow jogging for first 2 miles, last mile was much better, finished very strong
What would you do differently?:

do more coasting on bike trying to get breathing under control, will be training on longer distances to help control breathing
Post race
Warm down:

collapse at finish line! then drank 3 free beers and felt much better.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

breathing during swim got so far behind it never caught up until half finished with biking, then got behind again at start of run

Event comments:

Great experience, learned a lot for a first race, now ready to get serious and start competing
