No problems in trans or getting started

This was terrible. I was not ready for this
What would you do differently?:

Get a real bike. Train a lot harder out doors. Bike training in the gym is a joke. Take a few million spin classes..

Transition is fine

Got a cramp in my side for the beginning part but powered through and actually had a fast run
What would you do differently?:

Drink less on the bike and in the lake (yes, tons of lake water) to prevent the cramps
Post race
Warm down:

hugged my wife and mom and dad, and toook a nice slow walk over to get a drink and some fruit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

MY CRAPPY BIKE! AND NOT ENOUGH OUTDOOR BIKE TRAINING WITH HILLS.
SWIM MASK.

Event comments:

Well organized. The sign in and t-shirt pick up seemed to be a little un-ruly. No real post race other than some drinks and oranges and banannas and bagels.
Overally a good experience
