Comments:

I felt a little better than last time, but it was probably just because I already knew I was going to be very slow in the water. I am very weak on this leg.
What would you do differently?:

Train more.

I did not realize there was a slight upgrade crossing the mount line. I had a lot of trouble getting on top of my shoes, and wasted a lot of time.
What would you do differently?:

Run longer before getting on my bike.
