Comments:

This was my first tri and i wasn't able to get into a pool to get a swime in to find out how slow i am. I thought a 10 to 11 min swim would be close so my 9 min was a great surprise for me. I was cought behind multable people that were slower then ma. And i believe i swallowed 1/2 the pool.

Comments:

time includes transition. Ride was good. It was slower then i was expecting. I passed the transition enterence. This rookie needed a sign and arrow. Me and my iron horse(steel frame 18 year old mtn bike) passed a hand full of $2000 tri bikes. That was encouraging.
What would you do differently?:

walk my transition lanes to get comfertable with the area.

What would you do differently?:

not much. Train w/ a more all around running training program.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch. Felt some shin splints and tightening in my calfs

What limited your ability to perform faster:

a job.
