Comments:

Breastroked 8.5/10 laps.

No real problems but breastroking that much tired out legs and probably had a big impact on other 2 events.

Had pre-swim jitters but as soon as buzzer went off no problem.
What would you do differently?:

Train more, get technique down so I could actualy swim most/all of event free instead of breast.

Rested a lot, a bit disorganized even though area was "organized"...lol.

No real issues here too. Realized I wasn't as fast as on the bricks pretty early on.

Uneventful and desolate.

Swim better !

More riding.

This was much closer to what an actual transition should be.

IF YOU BUY A RACE BELT...USE IT !!! ...lol

Only big rookie mistake was forgetting race belt/bib #...cost me 1:00

swim more.

First triathlon.................. at least I finished !!

Can't consider it a disappointment when it's first time but I know I can go a lot faster.

Overall I had a ball.
