Swim was good. Just crowded. Took forever waiting on some people.

Made the decision to continue after the swim. Because of the rain and not ever being on a road bike I did not know if I wanted to continue, but I did.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Riding on my rim, then walking for 40+ min.

Event comments:

Great race. Well run considering there were 700 people, it was raining, lightning, etc.

This is the race that convinced my to take up tri's. I thought this one would be fun. It was a blast! Never been on a road bike before this ride. Very different.

I just pulled a time of 1hr 30min out of the sky as a finish time and I would have beat that by 12 minutes if I did not have to walk. This also would have put me in about 110th place out of 350 participants without even training. This race showed me I can do this. Just as with Uwharrie, I got home and looked for the next one.
