Given this was my first, I kind of took it a bit easy in T1.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. The setup was good, thanks to advice from Denver. had everything laid out perfectly

What would you do differently?:

Need to probably be a bit more agressive on the bike overall. Ride was good, but should be looking at doing it quicker.

What would you do differently?:

Need to probably get a bit of a move on in T2. Need to get a race belt to make life easier.

Almost pulled cramp on the start of the run, but managed to slow down a bit to reduce the impact. Oh and I wet myself which was really nice because I was busting :-)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing!!! First one and an amazing event, maybe the 2nd one I can beat myself up a bit :-)

For a first timer I don't think the race can get any better organised than this...
