Nice race for someone with bronchitis!  I know you're swim times were off because of it, but your bike and run were great!  Nice job.  I'm just starting to train for my first sprint tri next spring and haven't hit the pool or done much riding yet.  I'm guessing this wasn't your first race with those other times being so decent. 

Any advice for a novice?

Congrats again on the race!
