A horror show, I am lucky I did not drown. Good thing they had flotation devices along the swim route.
What would you do differently?:

Actually train. Also I need to learn to swim more that 50 yards without stopping. Not jump in the water right after the fast guys, I got run over by wave after wave of faster swimmers. This made it difficult to swim.

Road my 11 year old daughters full suspension mountain bike. The road bike blew past me like I was stopped.

Get my own bike

I was dead from the swim, the bike segment nearly finished me off. This made the run very difficult.

Event comments:

This was my first race ever. I trained (road my kids bike) a few times around the neighborhood (maybe 10 miles total), swam about five times (between 200 to 400 yards each time) at a local pool, and ran 2 miles twice.

I am actually training and plan on doing better next time.
