Good swim, felt solid for last 300 meters
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Transition 1
  • 03m 27s
Comments:

Still a little slow getting into shoes. I need to start training without socks and consider transition shoes or race flats. That could probably save me 60 seconds. Worked really well to put shirt and race belt on during the run rather than in transition.
What would you do differently?:

Still want to practice with wearing tri top underneath wetsuit
