I just kind of trotted along on the run until I got to the off-road part. Parts had been washed out by a heavy rain that morning and (since I was in the last of the pack) the mud had been mushed up and stomped through. I just walked most of that and picked my way around the outside edges of the trail to keep from going ankle deep in mud. On the way back was a different trail, that wasn't muddy, but I still wasn't mentally prepared for off-road running. It was a surprise to me.
What would you do differently?:

Know the course before the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Panting heavily and looking for water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hahahaaa!!!! ME!

Event comments:

This was my first tri ever. I'm not fast and probably never will be, but I sure had fun. The event organizers are extremely friendly and supportive of ALL the athletes, from seasoned to first timers. They hold group swims on the course two weeks before the race, group rides, etc. They had some awesome raffle items after the race, from a tri bike to goody bags. I think most people who stayed left with at least something.
As for me, I have PLENTY of room for improvement. Hopefully, I'll do a little better next year.
