Full suspension mountain bike was pretty slow on the faster sections. Maybe I should have gone to slicks? In spite of pedaling my brains out, couldn't keep up on downhills, but was faster than a lot on the uphills due to gearing

Congratulations on finishing your first Tri. No one can take away the bragging rights, and you have a benchmark to compare future races to.

Bummer on the goggles.
