Thinking about performing got the best of me after I finished thinking about T1.
What would you do differently?:

Don't over think stroke and technique, and just do what's natural and fast.

Hammered hard on the bike and felt great. Could possibly have pushed harder, but not too much.

refine aero position

Almost endo'd the bike at dismount line. Running socks took some time

Took a bit over a mile to get my legs, but was in comfortable stride by turn-around. Felt like I could hold the pace all day if needed. Was 5 seconds behind 5th place, and lost to him by 4 seconds. Grrrrr!!!
