Comments:

there was a hill the just didn't end that I had to climb twice. it sucked
What would you do differently?:

more time on the bike before the race (i only got to do 10km on my bike before racing and I have never been on anykind of road race bike before). I need to get a lot better at gearing and I need to get better at climbing.

took to much time getting into my shoes and racking my bike
What would you do differently?:

train T2 more then zero times before my next race, get proper laces or shoes

Comments:

I could have gone faster. i was not expecting all the hills
What would you do differently?:

walk the course before the race so i knew about the hills. Run harder/faster as my body could have taken it.
Post race
Warm down:

massage on the legs right after and some walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not having enough time on my bike before hand, not walking/knowing the course, not enough time to train before the race, making excuses instead of putting out harder

Event comments:

thanks to all of the staff that set this race up. it was my first of many. I hope to come back next year and do much better
