Sorry you felt awful but, you finished! Swimming in the Hudson and running through the hills of Central Park are both daunting obstacles for your first Oly.

Looks like you have a good handle on what to work on next time. Good luck!

That's an excellent first Oly time.  That was a tough T1.  Mine was 7 minutes and I actually ran back to the transition area.  That was a tough bike and run course.  Lots of hills.

WTG!
