Attitude:
This was a practice run of the Pineapple Man course.  I got lost for a little bit on the bike and went the wrong direction, so I probably wasted at least a minute there.  The initial ride south is rough against the wind.  The bike lane is really just a shoulder and gets pretty narrow in places.  The ride back north is much better.  I think I might buy a side mirror for my bike because I have some trouble staying out of traffic.  :-(  I was a little disappointed with my bike time.  I would have been the last place bike finisher in my age group with that time in last year's race.

The run was really good.  I thought I was lost the entire time but it turns out I was exactly where I needed to be.  The route is through a neighborhood with lots of mature trees so it was mostly shaded.  I actually felt really good after the run.

This was my first dress rehearsal with my new tri shorts.  I think they are too small, but it's a little late now.  They were more comfortable than I expected on the bike, but not as good as my bike shorts.  I hope to practice swimming with them this week.
