I need practice getting into my new tri shoes (instead of my road shoes), I only just got them yesterday so practice, practice, practice.

Fairly smooth bar the shoe thing, but I don't feel I lost too much time.

Even though I got 40 mins (incl T1 & T2) I am still happy due to the difficulty of some parts of the course.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe some more speed work in my training.

When I got off my bike, my feet had pins and needles, I also had trouble with some strange feelings in my heels. Never happened to me before.

I took 19 mins and I think it is because my feet just felt weird.

Not much, I am happy with the run still.
