Unloaded and headed towards the transition area.

Did ok going out to the surf but I got nailed coming back in wasn't paying attention to what was behind me and got caught on the top of a wave wich hammered me into the oceans bottom my googles were around my neck as I was fixing them I got nailed again.

Run felt pretty good after the first mile . My time was below par but so was my bike. I feel I could have gone sub 24 mins with some proper training but what the heck I had a fun day and made my 3 yr old son happy!!
What would you do differently?:

push a little harder on run felt that i left some in the tank
Post race
Warm down:

took a little walk around with my son in the village drank a couple of waters!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

had not trained the last six weeks been working hard and long hours. I did this race because I needed to get out and have a good day of training to get me motivated again and my son kept asking me when I was going to race since we have gone and watched two other triathlons since I last raced.

Event comments:

next year I will beat this time by at least 12 mins!!!!
TRAIN!!! TRAIN!!! TRAIN!!!
