Pre-race routine:

First ever triathlon. Didn't sleep a wink the night before! I also had lingering bronchitis, so was still coughing quite a bit. Very very nervous, but excited too.

Event warmup:

Got in the water to warm up before the other waves. Great decision as it was warmer in the water than on land.

Swim

16m 9s
750 yards
02m 08s / 100 yards

Comments:

Rain started just before our wave start.

What would you do differently?:

Not get swum-over by a wayward dude!

Transition 1

09m 41s

Comments:

Long run up a very steep boat ramp. Got very dizzy when taking wetsuit off and bike shoes on. Had to lie down for several minutes to sort out my balance, and popped an anti-nausea tablet under my gums. Transisstion stuff was very wet. I was fine after this though - damned dodgy ears!

What would you do differently?:

Cover up my bike/run stuff if it rains again.

Bike

47m 45s
12 miles
15.08 mile/hr

What would you do differently?:

Nothing - I took it easy and enjoyed the scenery and chatting with fellow athletes. Played cat-and-mouse with one guy on a mountain bike.

Transition 2

05m 1s

Comments:

Cold and very well = very slow.

Run

36m 5s
3.11 miles
11m 36s min/mile

Comments:

My shoes were so wet, and I was so cold, that I didn't put my left shoe on properly and it hurt for the first 30 seconds.

What would you do differently?:

Run more, walk less!

Post race

Warm down:

Does hugging lots of people count?

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bronchitis and not fully fit.

Course:	Bloody 'ell Hill on this course, but managed to climb up in without stopping. Front brakes failed on descent in pouring rain, dodgy first corner taken at high speed. Pumped brakes and it was better for second corner and dismount. Part of the course was on a highway, that was not coned off, a large truck got very close to the rumble-strip/shoulder area, quite scary.
