Bouyes moved, and i got off course in the first round. Still think the measured distance must have been longer than the official 1200m, I did 1650m...

Post race
Warm down:

Did nothing, just tried not to sit immediately. Drank a lot

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough training. Inexperienced in what pace to keep at bike vs run for optimal performance.

Event comments:

A lot of people swam too short, did not go to the second buoy, yet noone were disqualified. Water very shallow, a lot of wading in the beginning and at between round 1 and 2.

Bike part ok, but with traffic.
Run leg ok.

Very hot!

Congrats!  It's a PR.  

Courses are often off by a little bit in distance, but a buoy moving can really play with your head.  Great job just grinding through.

Looks like a nice course from the pics!

Welcome to tri!

Thanks a lot!
Yeah, I feel like a new person having done my first tri

The course was nice and probably the best there could be for beginners, since it was all flat and not too crowded.

Knowing where the fluids are, how they will fit on your bike, how much to reach for, and when to reach for it should be understood prior to ever setting foot on the course.
