That stupid wet shirt messed me up again...

Comments:

I did good on the bike. I swerved off the path once (after looking over my shoulder). I went through some sticker bushed and sand, but managed not to crash. I did have to stop to inspect my tire because I thought I popped it. I lost close to 2 minutes with this. Had some other small issues with getting stuck at a couple of lights and not turning around better at the turnaround ( I was on it before I even knew it). I'll know better next time.
What would you do differently?:

Try to stay more aero when it was getting windy.

Comments:

I got the mother of all cramps im my right calf whn taking my right bike shoe off by using the toes of my left foot and pulling/flexing my right lower leg. Thats 2 races in a row that I cramped at the start of the run. DANGIT!!!
What would you do differently?:

Be more careful removing my bike shoes.

Comments:

I was hurtin for the 1st half mile. I eventually got it going, but never felt strong on the entire run.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out how to hit the run feeling a little more fresh...? Better hydration of the bike may help. I am now taking supplements to hopefully prevent the cramp issues while racing.
Post race
Warm down:

Light stretching...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm a slug...
