In spite of poor swims/rides/runs, I'm pretty happy with my transitions. Tried going shoes preclipped. Worked okay, except I had trouble getting up to speed to start and had to one foot push for a bit.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe try the elastic trick, but need to be able to get some momentum going to get feet on the pedals.

Warm down:

Saw the fam and chilled out.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Will repeat ad nauseum, but the training really didn't happen. Disappointed on a number of levels.

Event comments:

Some things felt off this year. No water bottles, no foam crowns, no speakers out on River Road on the run course. Water level in the pond was low, finger scraping along the back stretch.
