Wasn't too bad although I've only really been riding about 60 to 70 kms a week for the last 6 weeks so couldn't expect too much. Felt like I took it pretty easy and could've pushed a bit harder.
What would you do differently?:

Train more!!!
Transition 2

Comments:

As I have slip in pedals I didn't have to take shoes off and put shoes on. Made it quick. Couldn't feel my feet though when I started running which was a little disconcerting (to say the least!!)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - maybe wear socks on the ride?

Nothing really
