Yup! That was me!

So during a sprint tri this weekend I decided I was goint to try and cut some time off T2.  Well, I had practiced removing my shoes while on the bike and going barefoot throughout the race. 

During the last part of the bike, I peeled my feet out of my shoes and rode with my feet on top for the last little bit.  I was feeling good about this!  I reached the dismount line and hopped off my bike.  I run to my spot on the rack and put my bike up.  I slide on my run shoes, grab my #belt, and take off.  I exit transition and when I reach up to adjust my sunglasses I realize my helmet straps are in the way.  Darn it!  Things were going so well!  I took my helmet off and ran back towards transition and chucked it in the general area, hoping it would still be there when I finished.

I finished the race and my helmet was still there.  Lesson learned.  When shaving time...don't forget the little things.
