Not too bad, frustrating to try to pass people in a half lane, but didn't slow me down too much, felt just fine with the swim, didn't over exert myself

No shirt required, just threw on my shoes (first tri w/ bike shoes and no practice transitioning w/ them) and helmet/sunglasses, jogged to the mount line and took off
What would you do differently?:

practice transitions so i can figure out the shoes on bike thing

Wanted 19-20 mph, got 18.8. Not too bad but if i had aero bars...and more time in the saddle... I wanted to hammer this pretty well since its been a weak spot, turned out ok.

Didn't feel very fast, but i guess thats decieving after going 20 mph for an hour. I was happey w/ this, just wanted to avg around 8 min mile. Had a slight side ache, didn't slow me down too much though
What would you do differently?:

hit it harder towards the end, wasn't sure about how far i had to go, finished w/ a little bit of gas in the tank
