Comments:

Ummm. Not sure what I was thinking by taking entire wetsuit off right at beach. I got confused by the prior training class. I should have just taken off the top half and ran.
My wetsuit and body was all covered in sand due to this. I had to wash down before the bike. Lost at least 2 min.
What would you do differently?:

Wetsuit off at transition bike area

Slower starting pace @ 8 min. Finished strong.

Train more on how to run the right pace for that kind of distance. I didn't want to go out too strong and lose momentum but I think I should have ran a faster pace.

My first TRI. It was a lot of fun and ran very well. Wasn't too aggressive which I appreciated.
