I let some people get ahead of me, but it turns out that I shouldn't have since I placed 2nd in my AG. Ran in to a lot of peoples feet, but they weren't hard hits. I swam a little to the outside to get out of the mayhem.

Nothing

Why oh why didn't I shift into the easiest gear before I racked my bike in transition? Argh, I was in like 5th gear when I hopped on after the mount line.
Also my first time to go sockless. Worked out very well, although according to other T1 times for this race in the past, I wasn't that much faster without socks than with socks.

Make sure bike is shifted into easiest gear before the race starts.

I was doing terrific on the bike......until about mile 6. I reached down and grabbed my gatorade bottle and on the way up I knocked it against the handlebar, and out of my hand it flew! I debated whether or not to go back for it, and after what seemed like 1/4 mile (probably only 20 feet) I decided to stop, dismount, run back to pick it up, and run back to get on my bike. I bet it only cost me about 45 seconds, but still. Lesson learned. Hold on to my water bottle more tightly.

First time racing sockless, so my shoes are a little harder to put on than my old ones.

More practice

Tried not pushing myself in an effort to actually go faster. And although I was not very tired when I finished, my time still sucked. Still kind of stumped as to why my run is not as good as I want it to be.

More time running I guess.

Stretched and drank a lot of water.
