nothing
Transition 2
  • 01m 57s
Comments:

I wasn't ready for the the very short street before dismount. I only had one foot out of my shoe before I had to dismount. I came to a complete stop and futzed with my shoe. T2 was a far enough run to make it worthwhile to be barefoot.
What would you do differently?:

Get feet out of shoes earlier
