I was disappointed with my swim and let it effect my transition (even though my time was only slightly under my target for swim)
What would you do differently?:

Continue push and "forget" about the previous leg

Went out a little hard.
What would you do differently?:

Don't take on hills quite as hard - but still attack

Really winded... needed to pee.
What would you do differently?:

Attack the transition areas to save time.

Clearly not enough endurance training on the run. Did not run the entire time

Do more running in during training.
