Warm down:

Stretching, lots of juice, Accelerade, lots of walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of experience in open water, slow transitions, not pushing it on the bike.

Event comments:

Done on the cheap. No Gatorade, bad stats available on-site. Only one timing mat at the transition area folded both transition times into the bike total.
