Not to make you feel bad, but you might have been better off with tennis shoes instead of clipped in bike shoes your first time. It is much easier to dismount and remount with tennis shoes than when you have to get unclipped, off the bike; run; jump on the bike and get clipped back in. So be prepared and remember unclip both sides before you try to dismount the first time! Once you get better, you can unclip the foot you take off first and then as you come through and go to run, you can unclip the second foot sort of simultaneously as you come off. Remember in mud, this can get tricky, cause unclipping doesn't happen as easily! Just keep trying it gets easier and easier.
