Transition is in a grassy area and there is a curb down to the road where you can mount. Hard to manuver quickly.

Felt real good for the first lap and picked up the pace on the second since I now knew where the end was.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and stretched for 10 min. Packed our transition up and loaded the car before the awards.

Event comments:

Pizza was cold and picked over by the time the olympic distance competitors were finishing. We were told by race officials when we picked up our packet that they had moved the race start from 8:00am to 7:15am. When we arrived, we set up our transition and at 7:00 headed down to the swim start. No one was there. We asked an official about the race time and he stated that they decided to start at 8am. They ended up starting the sprint distance at 7:45 and olympic at 7:50. Very confusing and frustrating for racers.
