Warm down:

Just died - well not really. Since swim last in this race had no shoes near finish, so walked to transition and took stuff/bike to vehicle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Deciding to do this with limited time to train before race. Needed more swim and bike training before, to do better. For first tri, this was ok.

Won 5th place AG in this my first tri, so pleased with results.
