Caloso, I did a sprint tri this past weekend and followed the advice you gave in your above post exactly. Transitions went perfectly.
I did had two difficulties with the race:
1) Overexertion in the openwater swim. This was my first open water swim and the mass start and crowding was unfamiliar and frustrating. I definately need to practive open water swimming and learning to better pace myself in a mass start swim.
2) Belive it or not I accidentally mixed my accellerade to strong. I didn't find out until I got on the bike and took a sip. It tased like acid. I'll never make that mistake again.
