I was proud of myself for running the whole way. I had my gallbladder removed 5 weeks earlier, so my training was off. This was actually a good time for me.

Nothing.

Transition 1

Comments:

No idea how long transitions were, they were included in each race portion and I didn't wear a watch. It was fine, no problems. Put my helmet on, changed my shoes, took off on the bike.
