Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

First time, overall a good learning experience. Run can be faster with training. Can improve transitions. Missing a turn on the bike course didn't help.

Event comments:

Overall a great first triathlon experience. Terrible weather but well run event regardless. I thoroughly enjoyed the event and cannot wait for the next one.
