I was very conservative becasue I really didnt know what to expect, my goal was to have a conservative first 5k and try to have a faster 2nd 5k
What would you do differently?:

I would probably go out a little faster and keep up with the pack in fron of me

My first duathlon was a success. I had so many fears before the race but none of those fears happened. And when it was all over, I felt I had accomplished something big.

Have a goal when you get into the water. If your purpose is distance, then set your pace for endurance. If your objective is speed, then incorporate drills.
