Did my first race today - Title 9 Sprint.  Had a great swim & bike (tho not sure of splits yet), then had a problem in the run.  I decided to go sockless and delveloped huge stabbing blisters on my arches so I ran the last 2 miles barefoot.
Still came in 159/around 700 with a time of 1:25:03.
Thanks to all of you for sharing your experience & advice!!

Great job!

I think I'd give up and sit down before running barefoot!!!

I was there too, but didn't see results and just left with my friend. Are they online yet? I was in the last wave, as it was my 2nd tri. The water seemed freezing to me (no wetsuit) and I was kinda freaked out at how dark it was. Fun though!

Good job!  I'm not that tough to run with blisters and/or barefooted.

They posted the results!
.25 mi swim - 8:20 (5th place overall!!)
T1 - 2:58 (ok I need to work on this)
20 mi bike - 38:37 (slower than I expected but there were some mondo hills)
T2 - 1:25
5k run - 33:45 (with blisters and last 2 miles were barefoot!)  This is actually around what I was aiming for.  Which makes me think I can do a lot better!

I was 158 overall and 36/241 newbies.

Now I hope they got some pics!
