Betcha mine are longer!!
(hee hee, competitive to the end!
)
I bring a hand-towel, dry myself off somewhat, put my bike shorts on over my compression shorts, then sit on the hand towel while I put on my shoes and socks. Generally by the time I get to transition, the ground is soppy muddy and chewed up by all the racers who actually know how to swim.
I chat with the relay team members who are done with their leg, I have a couple Clif bloks, take a drink of Clif electrolyte, sign autographs for my adoring fans... (only one of those is a lie)
