Pre-race routine:

The University is just over the river from where I live... We drove there though. BF decided at the last minute to enter so most of my routine was spent with him making sure he bought the right pair of swim togs.

The tri started in 1min blocks. 1-9 went first then 10-19... then me 20-29.
I REALLY sucked. I did 50m freestyle and managed to keep up with the group, but when I rounded the first buoy I started choking. thought I was going to spew, I had to stop for a sec... But I didn't want to give in here! I'd just started!!! Since I CAN'T breaststroke and my strongest suit is backstroke... I thought I'd give it a go... :P I didn't use my arm's though and I was still faster than one of the guys who started at the same time I did.

I did alsmost 150m on my back cause I was just sick.
What would you do differently?:

The best part of the ride was overtaking a stunned guy who looked like a serious roadie halfway through my second lap. Here I came on my bloody heavy hybrid bike powering past him on the flats! WOOHOO!!!

And I ran for as far as I could. I had one of the biggest stitches ever! So I'd run 2mins walk 1min etc.

Lotsa people overtook me on the run But I don't care

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training

Event comments:

This was my very first tri! I did very well on my the cycle leg but think I'd do better with some more training.
