lost alot of time due to washing off feet. Did not get a bike rack spot and had to lean bike in the dirt and grass area.

Comments:

I tried to pace myself better than last year. My average speed last year was 25.37mph and I was too tired to run. This yaer I left my cycle computer in car and was guessing at my pace. I felt alot better to run but lost 5 position during the ride. I was passing several riders during the ride so I felt comfortable with my pace.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I either have my GPS unit on or my cycle computer to better maintain my pace.

this is by far my weakest part of tri's. When I run my ankles and achilles are very painful. I wanted to stay below a 10 min/mile pace and accomplished that.
