train more and more, specially breathing to both sides instead of just to the left

I took a long time to put my t-shirt and my socks and snickers. I am sure you can do this much faster. Overall, not that bad for the first race, but you can definitely do it faster.

Use a wetsuit and have all my clothes and number tag with me as soon as I get out of the pool. I changed my t-shirts twice during the race... not a good idea.

I was already tired by the second lap and I have an old bike. Unfortunately, the bike can save you many minutes and I realized this during the race.

Maybe have a better bike

I had to use the restroom. That could kill your T2 time, for sure.

Try and have the same t-shirt during the whole race instead of exchanging them during the race

I consider this to be my strength, but unfortunately I had a problem with my knee after just 3 kilometers. I am sure I could have ran the distance in 50 minutes, or so.

Nothing, just pray that the next time my knee helps me and don't bother until the end of the race

It was my first race and I think I learned that technique is very important. For example, during your swim, it is not good to be stopping every 2 minutes to check where are you going. You can loose a lot of time doing this.
The bike is very important. Just try and get a good bike for this.


I completely recommend this experience. It was a great day that I hope I can repeat many times from now on.
