Remembered to take my helmet off this time before starting the run. However, I did not start my foot pod before leaving transition area. Had a good run with my bike to my rack which shaved some time off my transition time to the final run.
What would you do differently?:

Start my Polar Foot pod.

Event comments:

This was the most difficult run and bike course I have done with HFP Racing. No PR's on this course. Had plenty of room for parking and the race setup at this park. Nice, long, straight run into the finish line.
