Was a little overwhelmed with this being my first tri swim. The time trial start probably helped, but I still got banged up a little bit. Submitted a really slow estimated swim time, so I started at the back of the pack. Passed a lot of people on the swim.

Nothing really since this was my first tri.

Very slow transition time. But then again, I had never done this before. So what could I have really expected? I'm fine with this time.

Practice before the event so I know what the heck I'm doing.

Hadn't put in much time on the bike prior to the race, so I never felt all that comfortable. Considering my lack of preparation, I feel I did alright.

Practice. Train more.

Time wasn't too bad considering it was my first.

Move quicker

Felt good on the run, but that was to be expected as my background is in running. Running a 5K is nothing new, but this was the first time doing it after a swim and bike. I actually felt better than I normally do in a 5K and I attribute this to being warmed up. I also didn't push all that hard on the bike, so I had plenty in reserve.

Nothing

Walked around a little bit. Drank some fluids and ate some.


Lack of experience.


Very good event for the first time triathlete. Would definitely recommend it to others.
