A little freaked out with all the bodies in motion.

Pretty good for first T1 ever. Just grab shoes and helmet and go.

Comments:

Got passed a lot, but overall one of my faster paces. I'm not sure if my parents were trying to boost my ego or not, but they said I was the first mountain bike to finish. If anybody sees this and knows otherwise don't tell me!
What would you do differently?:

Continue to train on the mountain bike and possibly rent a road for the next race.

Comments:

I didn't have to change my shoes so this was easy.

Wait longer to jump off bike.

Comments:

Felt pretty much like I always do when I run. Rough first mile building to the last two with a strong finish.
What would you do differently?:

Judge the distances better so I don't hold out to long to push at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk till heart rate came down to low hundreds.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Inexperience and unfamiliarity with course.

Event comments:

I don't have much to base all this on except my training and what I've heard about other events, but it seemed to be a top notch race and great experience for my first tri.
