Choice of shoes for first tri

[Veronica]

You don't have to start with your shoes on your pedals. I never do.

For such a short event, I sometimes carry my tools and tube, sometimes not. Since it's 5 times on the same circuit, I probably wouldn't. If I got a flat, my race would essentially be over and I'd lilkely DNF. Me, I'd still do the run, just 'cause it's my nemesis.
