T1

Just to give you an idea of how crazy the transition area looks in a big race. When I got into the transition area and I saw that Michelle's bike was still on the rack (meaning she was still in the water) I knew I had done a great swim. I was so psyched! Now, M had taken a few minutes longer on the swim then she'd expected, but I was still super psyched to see her bike there. Besides, I hoped it meant that I would get to see her out on the bike route.

I did T1 (run out of the water, take off cap, goggles, shoes, and wetsuit, put on socks, put on bike shoes, put on helmet, unrack my bike, run bike to exit) in 3:05.
