Subject: DOing a Double Sprint Need advice
ok I am doing a double sprint  in a few weeks:
375 meter swim
1.5 mile run
20K bike
1.5 mile run
375 meter swim
Question: Do you think I should change my Keo pedals out for  like cages pedals and bike with my running shoes on. I bike faster with my bike shoes but the time spent putting them on then taking them off will it be worth all the effort, Oh  and do I put  my running shoes on the beach or should I run to the road and put them on for the run part.

Any other advice for an event like this that I should pay attention to
.
Thanks

Practice transitions and just go with your normal pedals/shoes. I typically have just as fast(or faster) transitions of people that use cages at duathlons and sprints. It's still only going from run to bike to run once, that's not enough to make me change anything.

You do it all sockless right. I am worried about the beach sand in my shoes

I always say, you won't notice it till after the race anyway. I've never had problem with sand though.
