Comments:

I only practiced mounting with shoes clipped on a couple days before the race. Actually on saturday i ripped off my pinky toe nail trying to get it down. My left shoe unclipped when mounting and my foot hit the road with my pinky taking the hit. Luckily the adrenaline spike allowed me to race without feeling it as much.
I recommend using vaseling on the outer edge of the shoe to make slipping in easier.

Comments:

Felt good most of the way. I think my cadence was too high at some points and it hurt my run later. I guessi have to keep experimenting until i find a cadence that allows me to do better in the run.
