I think I could have done it faster but kept saving a little for it since riding it the week before and new what to expect. I should have just hammered all the way. Ugh!

See above!

Comments:

I had the last spot on the transition toward the run exit. So I had a nice run from the swim exit and for the bike exit / enterance!
What would you do differently?:

Other than throwing the bike and running barefoot I cant think of doing anything other than doing it faster.
