I was so cold, fingers were numb so I had a very hard time with shoes and socks, felt like I was moving in slow motion

Not to bad for my first Triathlon. Transitions need work, swim could be a little better and I need a road bike to compete with others.

Congratulations! It was freaking cold Sunday morning with that wind, wasn't it? Since you were in the wave after me to start, we must have come in from the bike course fairly close to each other. How about that?

Congrats on your finish! It does look so much harder for people with mountain bikes..... You are truly going to love the sport when you get on a road bike to race!

It was so cold! I was in the first wave start and I was so glad to be in the water. It felt warm compared to the air. Great going! Hope to see you at some other races.
