Physically, a nice swim. I registered late, so i had weave through the slower swimmers. Also, I swam over to the 2nd lap buoys after my first lap and had to correct. I added 75-100 meters to my swim. Airhead mistake.
What would you do differently?:

Register early, and focus on my course

I need tri shoes! Most of my transition time was me trying to put on my shoes.
What would you do differently?:

Tri shoes, and running mount.

A lot of hills kick my arse! I feel i am working way too hard on the bike leg, and thus, my run suffers.
What would you do differently?:

Slow down, and better pace myself so i have legs left to run on.

Again, my shoes were the big culprit. Took forever to take off.

Really time for some new shoes!
