I walked out from the water to my bike after I fell on loose carpet exiting water.
The bike mount point was on a steep angled, wet, cobblestone hill so it was difficult to get clipped in. A well meaning spectator grabbed my seat to steady me and ended up ripping it off. I wasted 10 minutes trying to get my seat back on, finally had to settle for taping it in place with masking tape.

I need to learn how to mount the bike with shoes attached already to the pedals.

I think I would have done a lot better in this ride if it hadn't been for my seat. I had to stop 4 times and reposition it. The tape wsn't doing a very good job. Not to mention that 10 minutes of this time is trying to fix it in the first place. Overall, I'm very happy with my bike.

I didn't try to dismount the bike in socks, the entrance to transistion was wet and downhill. It just seemed to risky so I stopped and disomounted slowly careful not to fall on the cobblestone.

Overall the run felt good. I didn't have my garmin so I just paced on how my legs felt. I constantly picked people off that had passed me on the bike. I made sure I walked every water station on the second loop when my hamstrings started to get tight.
