Road my mountain bike with running shoes. WOW! I was wore out at the end. Buy overall pleased with my ride. Chose to forgo bike shoes to help reduce transition time. Drank a little water from my bottle in the last half mile to keep from cramping up on the run.
What would you do differently?:

Use a road/Tri bike with shoes.
