Took watch off and tried to pull hand out of wetsuit while holind the watch...Hand got stuck. Forgot to put on socks, almost got out of the transition area, went back and put them on....I did ride with feet on top of shoes, so that helped.

Pulled quad in a turn taking it too fast.

Have bike serviced the weekend before race...front derailleur was out slipped into little gear but hard time shifting to big gear. This was the longest distance to date on the bike. I should have trained more.
