The times are all unofficial but they are close. i started at the very back and the runners started out at a sprint. I didn't want to do that so I just ran a race pace for me and slowly I started picking some off, one at a time. When i got back and saw 8 minutes I was estatic.

I had to run past my bike and went to my truck to use it as a block for the restroon. A lady was in the car next to me and I said excuse me but Ive got to go. This killed a lot of time. Then I ran back to my bike.

The water bottle was bothersome but it kept my mind off being tired. I do need to ride more. This was the 1st time I've ridden my tri bike since October. I'm still a real newbie to this sport and turning is a big problem for me on the tri bike.
What would you do differently?:

Just train more but I was pretty happy w/ the ride.
