Train more.

As usual, dizzy out of pool. Everything was laid out, but was not thinking clearly and put on helmet prior to shirt, lol. Walked out of transition, carbon soles are slippery.

Faster clip in, more practice with shoes clipped in.

Slow clip in.

Ride down in the horns more (road bike)Procure cadence sensor to insure I am spinning correctly

Comments:

Happy with this transition. I walked out of transition to loosen the calves which were tight. Lost at least 1 min by walking in and out of transition.
What would you do differently?:

Run in/out of transition.

Comments:

Cramped 1/4 mile into run. Had to stop, stretch calf, ran very slow for the next 3/4 mile. After that run pace picked up nicely. When I finished was running at 8:50/mi right as my hamstring cramped at finish, lol
What would you do differently?:

More Run/Bike Bricks, more stretching
