Comments:

Not bad. I was hoping for better, but it was a learning experience.
What would you do differently?:

Learn to swim so that I don't have to ef with the wetsuit in transition. Get shoes that I can wear without socks to eliminate that step.

Horrible performance on my part. I almost can't believe I rode THAT slow, but my poor swim messed me up for the rest of the course.
