I had to meet Julie at the beach (because of her MS, she didn't think she could run up the the transition area). I didn't put on my helmet or shoes until I got to my bike.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe have my shoes & helmet on.

Maybe hit the downhill strenghts a little harder

Untie my running shoes so that all I would have to do it put them on

Course: They change the course a day before the race. I've been praticing the big hill forever but at the last minute, they took it out. The course for the most part was flat. It was more trails then pavement (which was bad for my feet) but I felt really good.
