awful sighting! tried to smooth out stroke by not sighting as often, but ended up zig-zagging way too much
What would you do differently?:

go out harder/stronger, and sight more often
Transition 1

Comments:

had to run all the way to the back of transition to get to my age group's location of bikes, and then run all the way back out

learn to jump on bike w/ shoes pre-clipped in!

POURED RAIN ON THE WAY BACK! Was going over 30mph completely blind, even though I was out of the aero position and holding the brakes!

learn to slide out of shoes while still on bike,and to jump off during dismount

Body Glide around the rim of my shoes worked great!
