Comments:

Took a little extra time b/c I swam to fast and needed brief rest.
What would you do differently?:

Get out o T1 as soon as possible and if a restis needed, take first minute or so of bike a little easy (at least I will be covering some distance).

Had trouble navvigating the course despite markings. Probably b/c this was my first race, bike included.
