The transition area is a bit of a run away from the water exit. You have to run down an asphalt trail barefoot, or stash some shoes somewhere near the dock.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Don't know how to pace myself - I saved too much energy. And, sighting is hard for me and slows down my swim. And, frankly, I just need to practice harder! But, this was my longest race yet, and I just wanted to finish, so I feel fine about it.
