Comments:

Had a little trouble getting my wind shirt on. Normally, I zip the bottom about 1/1/2 inches and put it on like a pullover, today it got hung up on my back and took a bit to get it down to where it was supposed to be. Also I use power straps and my running shoes for these shorter events to save time changing shoes in T2.
What would you do differently?:

Work to refine transition process.

The team did very well at setting this up, everything was organized with no issues. It was the first time with the chip timer, but it was flawless. Major Kudos, the team at Arctic Triathlon Series.
