Pre-race routine:

This was my triathlon debut after losing 136 pounds in the past 10 months, was tossing and turning all night. Woke up at 3 am, had some coffee, and a piece of toast with some peanut butter on it.Had an hour drive to race site, made it there at 5:30 am for body marking.Ate a pack of sport beans 30 minutes before race started.
Event warmup:

A fairly long walk from body marking to transition area with my bike and my gear, and some stretching of course

Comments:

This was the part of the race I had been stressing about,swimming is not my strong sport,but the water felt nice and I just did my best and it wasn't so bad.
What would you do differently?:

More swim practice, learn how to use my legs more, I used only my arm strength through most of the swim.

Skipped socks,sunglasses kept fogging up so I left them in transition
What would you do differently?:

Wiped my face with towel first so sunglasses won't fog up

Felt good on the bike, I don't have a bike computer so I had no idea where I was on the course or how long I had to go, had I had this info,I could have pushed harder on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Get a bike computer.

Warm down:

Congratulated other racers,chatted with some new friends,had some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm new to the sport,so only have been training 2 months. Before the past 2 months, all I did was lift weights and run.

Event comments:

This was my first tri, and I had a blast! That was so much more fun than I imagined it would be. The people were awesome, great atmosphere. I'm hooked and can't wait for the next one!
