Pre-race routine:

Well, 12 hours before the race I nearly amputated mu index finger on my left hand. I don't think that will be normal race routine.

Got to the race and just tried to copy everyone else. Brian from BT found me, so that was nice to chit chat with another newbie.

Also, I was really nervous.
Event warmup:

swam about 100 meters

That time included T1. I did the swim in 6:01, I wasted 2.5 minutes in transition, aghhhhhhh.
What would you do differently?:

The swim itself I am pretty happy with. I will try harder on the breathing and relaxing.

Looks like you had a good race overall! Way to go!  Your next one will be much smoother - fewer nerves and a better idea what to expect so you can plan your transitions.  You still did better than I would have! Keep up the great work!

Don't worry about your first race, you did a great job and are no longer a rookie. Keep up the good training and have fun.
