My first tri... I was very leisurely about my transitions.
What would you do differently?:

Put sunscreen on *before* swim... skip the insect repellent. Practice deflating tires to correct amount, and re-inflating quickly.

I stopped twice on the short steep hill (only time I stopped) but did not dismount! My goal was to stay on the bike for the entire race, and I did it!
What would you do differently?:

Replace knobblies with smooth road tires. Add computer to bike to track cadence, distance, etc.

You did it! Aren't you so proud? Definitely get some slicks for your mtn bike. That alone will shave probably 10 minutes off your bike time.
