This is where I thought I would have success. I do not believe that I pushed hard enough here. I need work here.
What would you do differently?:

Push. I need some technology also. I raced upright as I did not have aero bars and felt that I wasn't getting enough air when I was all the way down on the bars.

Tired again when coming into this transition and used some time to rest.

Ask other triathletes how they transition.
