Ranking for age group only.
What would you do differently?:

DO MORE RUNNING. This is my weakest area. Really need to work on running the full 3 miles. Walked 4 times (2 times to get a drink).
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched. Ate a banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I wanted to pace myself so I wouldn't burn out. I think I could have pushed myself more to get a better time.

Event comments:

This was my first race (as well as the sponsor's first). I thought it was well organized and had enough volunteers to help. I had a great experience and have already signed up for my next tri in late September.
