Sat down on stool, didn't have everything perfectly set-up - shoes not open, jersey over tool, too much fumbling.

Almost lost it in a corner where the pavement meets the curb, had to unclip to save from calling....cost time.

Comments:

Too frazzled, trying to catch breath - not seamless.

Practice.

Comments:

Good run, knees and back felt good, went w/o socks and that worked.
What would you do differently?:

I would forgo the hat, since I took it off and it fell, slowed me down.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched after hydrating.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Transitions, near miss bike crash, and losing the hat during the run.

Event comments:

The water stations were tough - hard to slow down to grab a dixie cup of water, eventually just asked volunteers to throw it on me.
