Pre-race routine:

Lots of Nerves as this was my first race ever, My goal was to finish the race in one peice.
I at a breakfast and since we were starting at 12:50 i ate a sandwhich at 10:30. I dont think i should have done that since i was feeling kinda icky on the bike run.

lots of watching and jitters followed by a bit of swimming.

I learnt that i need to breath on the other side to get a good look at the markers, being a lefty i was always looking on the wrong side.

I did alot of breast stroke to help my navigation
What would you do differently?:

I wouls not start at the back. I was held up by not being able to easily pass people on the swim.
