Post race
Warm down:

Hung around and chatted with others. Generally pleased I had completed the course without incident.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Swim was total panic.
Transitions were poor and need serious review
Held back on bike because of fear of losing control on wet roads and downhill.

Event comments:

First ever trialthon. Very pleased to have finished. Knew I would be slow. Panic in swim. Surpirsed transitions were so long. Lots of opportunity for improvement. Overall, I am pleased to be a triathlete and pleased to have finished under two hours.
