Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of experience....first triathlon!!! Took over 9 minutes in transition area (average transition time in age category less than 2min). Wet suit made a world of difference in swim.

Event comments:

The weather conditions couldnt have been any better. Flat course made for fast times.
