Was trying to catch my breath from the pool, heh. In the middle of toweling myself off; "what am I doing, there is no need for that...".

Had to borrow a buddy's road bike for this event (first event). This was my third time on a road bike...and the third time riding a bike clipped in. I didn't have a computer at the time, and was not accustomed to the motions of cycling clipped in...so the majority of ride, I was just mashing on the pedals.
What would you do differently?:

Ride with a cadence computer and learn the proper cadence

Was shaking from the bike run, had trouble with my shoe laces!

It felt like I was running really slow; perhaps a GPS watch would be a good investment. I took a handful of walking breaks of < 30 seconds each.

Power aid, banana

What limited your ability to perform faster:

For my first tri, i was happy with the results.

Event comments:

Overall it was a great experience because everyone was so friendly and in good spirits. I thought the event was run very well. Andy himself was at a corner at the biking segments warning riders about a wet spot on an upcoming turn. Kudo's to Andy!
