Subject: finished my first relay race...and pros / elites are pretty amazing....
i had the pleasure to do my first relay team, it was a nice triathlon on south beach in miami.  since the relay wave was part of the last wave, it was really nice to see the pros come from the swim to the bike. 

their transitions were amazing with 20-25 seconds.  i am no slouch, but i am off by at least good 20 seconds to these guys.  their bike mounting skills were pretty impressive.  i was on the bike course but apparently their T2 was even more impressive.....not sure how they get this fast besides training alot.

would love to learn how to jump on the bike like that, eventhough i mount with shoes already i still ahve to stop the bike and get on...too afraid to hurt my guys down there.
