Comments: After taking off my wetsuit, I was freezing. It was so cold and windy. It was a little hard to get dressed. I put on a short-sleeved shirt, arm warmers, vest, knee warmers (which I really appreciated) and gloves (with the liners). Then my helmet and sunglasses. Oh, and socks and shoes. No wonder it took me so long. What would you do differently?: In hindsight, I think I should've just put a long-sleeved shirt on instead of arm warmers, and a vest. Although I did wear the short-sleeved shirt for the run. So that part was a good move. ![]() Bike
Comments: I was so glad that I was dressed warm because it was so windy! Would you believe that I actually saw a guy biking with his wetsuit on? ![]() Transition 2
Comments: I put my running shoe on and then realized that I had to take the knee warmer off. I definitely didn't want to run with those on. ![]() Run

After listening to the rain and the howling winds all through the night, I wondered what I had gotten myself into. Stacey called at 4:45 a.m. to ask if I had been outside yet. I opened the door and it was freezing outside! The good news was the rain had stopped. It was misty a little but that was all.
Bob R suggested we wear our extra sneakers down to the swim start. Excellent idea! The ground was so cold.
