it was really fun on the way in (down hill) but prietty tough on the way back (up hill) and took a lot of energy getting through the hills. I made it slower than expected. should train and target for 35 min.

train more hill course

transition was good. I was prietty tired after the bike so spent some time drinking and catching my breath before going out for the run.

Comments:

the transition from the bike to running it took me like 0.5 miles to get to pace and be able to do better
What would you do differently?:

train more bricks
Post race
Warm down:

streching and re-hidrate

What limited your ability to perform faster:

inexperience (this was my first triathlon) and need to train more on the bike

Event comments:

everything was very orginized. the only thing that I didnt like is that the transition area for the finishers was open even when some racers where still going through the transition (bike-running). I could not imagine how bad that people felt.
