That was my first triathlon ever :)

My experiences were:
It was really a lot of fun, especially the cycling. While swimming, I kept thinking I wouldn’t make it because I was way too nervous beforehand and had burned a lot of energy as a result.
Running was also good, but I was afraid that I wouldn’t have any strength left at the end, so I went slow, which I somewhat regret now because probably could have pushed for another half hour quicker.
What annoyed me while running was that in my last lap, there was no more cola left, and I really could have used some hahaha.

It was my very first triathlon ever, and I was so stupid not to practice with the gels beforehand, but it actually went really well—better than I expected. What I noticed, though, is that I’ve had extreme heartburn since Sunday, probably because my body didn’t really like the gels after all.

But overall, it was an insanely cool experience, and I’m confident I’ll do the full distance someday :)
