Swim
What would you do differently?: Get to the water sooner, and go a little slower. I was worn out on the way to T1. Transition 1
Comments: Was a long distance (2 blocks) from water to transition. What would you do differently?: I walked most of the transition a bit out of breath. Would have been better to get out of the water a minute later and jog to T1. Bike
Comments: I was riding the wrong bike in the wrong fit. What would you do differently?: Already done, I have a new bike now. Transition 2
Comments: Using my running shoes for biking so no issues there. What would you do differently?: I thought it went fairly well for my first race. Run
Comments: One of the first times I managed to run a 5k without stopping... not bad considering the previous 1.5 hours. What would you do differently?: Water/aide was every 1 mile. Should have gotten the aide stuff at T2 and then gotten water at the first mile. If water was any farther apart I should have taken some with me. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Mostly my bike, inexperience, and a touch of panic in the water. Last updated: 2011-04-16 12:00 AM

Got up and had a "high carb" breakfast at the hotel, a few breads and a banana. Got Body Marked and checked on Bike and placed camel back on bike etc.
Putting on wet suit. Really couldn't swim in advance, and being my first tri I wasn't up for being too far away from the start.
