Swim
Comments: Much much harder than I thought, and it seemed much harder than swimming in the pool. However, this (outside of transitions) is what I most wanted to experience out of this triathlon. What would you do differently?: I'd train for swimming more, and I'd get coaching. Transition 1
Comments: Lost time with tri top, with socks, and with number. What would you do differently?: I'll get a number belt, and I'll lay things out a bit different. Bike
Comments: I felt good about this, and I was happy with my performance. The only people to pass me looked very fit on very good bikes. What would you do differently?: I would use a racing bike rather than my touring bike (but I can't afford that yet). I could have gone faster, but I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't destroy my run. Transition 2
Comments: Couldn't find rack spot easily. What would you do differently?: I'll figure a better way of spotting my rack spot. Run
Comments: I felt like I had dead legs, but my run was still felt strong, and apparently it was a lot stronger than I thought it was (although nobody passed me on the run -- I guess the faster people were already ahead of me). What would you do differently?: Learn to drink out of a noral cup while running. I splashed water up my nose (wasn't very pleasant). Post race
Warm down: None really, too preoccupied with finishing. What limited your ability to perform faster: Swim, transition experience, and no race bike. Event comments: It was my first Tri, so I don't really have anything to compare it to. It was also a test to see if I would actually enjoy it, and I must say I'll be doing more of them.

Didn't really do anything except for eat early and make sure I didn't have to use the wash room.
