Comments:

Still having trouble getting out of wet suit when tired. There was 150 yard slight uphill run from end of swim to transition area. Should use glide to help get wet suit off. Had to put on biking shoes, then run with bike to bike out. Couldn't get clipped in on my left foot right away.
What would you do differently?:

Use glide, possibly invest in triathlon biking shoes.
