Bike felt good. Need to get a road bike. Using a mountain bike is a real disadvantage.

Nothing at this point.

Need to build more stamina to keep HR under 155 for the entire run. Strategy of stopping for 30 sec - 1 min walks helped.
What would you do differently?:

Know the course better. There was an extra section at the end that I didn't expect.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked for a few minutes to cool down. Had some water and watermelon.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HR was spiking too high during the run.

This was my first triathlon. I really enjoyed it, I just wish the swim wasn't cancelled.
