Comments:

The bike leg was AWFUL. EVERYONE passed me, including a little kid. I think the problem was due 50% to poor fitness level and 50% to my equipment - I have a very slow mountain bike!!! I got very depressed during the bike ride because I was just so slow. This has now been rectified and I have purchased a road bike!
What would you do differently?:

Get better bike, train more.

Not fit enough, very slow bike, first triathlon so just getting used to it!
