treaded water too much, swam on back to catch my breath and to relax.
What would you do differently?:

Train more and swim more.

Disorganized. I had trouble putting on top because I was wet. Putting on sock took a little more time because they were toed sockes
What would you do differently?:

Swim in top, go without socks, and have shoes already on peddles. Organize the setup better

Road in back of the main group. Got cramps in right leg and had to slow down, and drink water to recover. Not shifting smoothly. Took a wrong turn too.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more water and other drinks. Ride and train more.

Comments:

Had trouble locating head band and someone moved my race belt
What would you do differently?:

Ride with shows undone near the end. Run with bike. Organize the setup.

Comments:

Good run for me. dead legs lasted about 1/2 mile into the run. Run was mostly in the shade. Could have run faster because a sped up for the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Practice with a metronome. Do more speed work. Run more with friends.
Run below average but Half a minute faster than last year's running pace for longer races
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around the grounds

What limited your ability to perform faster:

experience and lack of practice

Event comments:

Good first triathlon. I'll do it again
