Jen, so it's my understanding that the time spent in T1 and T2 are added to the overall time, correct? Just want to be sure. I also screwed up on my bike to run transition. I ran out the wrong exit, had to be turned around, and ran back. Probably burnt a good 40 seconds. Just newbie terrible. I'm set to do the Lake Castaic Tri on 6/15. The swim is only 400 yards. I think I'm going to ditch the wetsuit and start off at the head of the pack. That way I won't be slamming into people! I think that will allow me to get into my groove. And your bike is great!
