Good transition, took too much time clipping number belt, had the clip behind my back. Took too much time arranging my wet suit so it wouldn't get munched by other athletes.

Clip number belt up front, not worry about wet suit

train doing the transition changing into running shorts.

my run and swimming off course

This was a national event, with athletes coming from all over the nation. I will definitely do this again. I'm looking forward to the 2011 Games in Huston, Tx.
