Comments:

I started on the left at the back, which was a good thing. I still had some difficulty swimming into and around people.
What would you do differently?:

I really need to work on my swim. The first 100 were freestyle, but then I basically went to breast stroke. But my rhythm was far too fast, and I didn't glide enough, which burned more energy than I should have and slowed me down.
Transition 1
  • 03m 37s
Comments:

First transition ever. I thought it went pretty well, but had some trouble getting into my gloves of all things. Might have taken the whole thing too casually. Would be great not to have to put on cycling shorts and the shirt. Took advantage and drank some water.
What would you do differently?:

Get a tri suit. Not that I would have for this race, since this was to find out if I like doing triathlons.
Bike
  • 43m 11s
  • 12 miles
  • 16.67 mile/hr
Comments:

I enjoyed the bike. I think I only passed three people, but that's o.k. This race was about me against me, not me against anyone else.
What would you do differently?:

I would have sprinted toward the finish a little sooner. Need to work on cornering.
Transition 2
  • 01m 46s
Comments:

Couldn't get off the bike quickly because there was a backup going into the transition area, with two cyclists who I wanted to pass just ahead of me.
Run
  • 29m 26s
  • 3.1 miles
  • 09m 29s  min/mile
Comments:

I never stopped running! Felt weird after the bike. Thankful for the water. Fought some dehydration.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. It went as well as could be hoped on such a hot day.
