Not too bad. Walked at the start then jogged for the rest of the run

Warm down:

Stretching and shower after richard came in

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My excess weight and lack of training! No tri suit

Event comments:

Lack of information, loss of my details, entry into the wrong race a lack of marshalls led to a confusion and worrying experience - not the best for my first tri!
