A good run, I probably could have pushed my pace a little harder, but given that I haven't run under 8:30 pace in a year, I was very happy

Not much to say here, this one is always a strange feeling going from running gear to biking instead of vice versa.

I was having a pretty good bike. I had just pushed through the head winds from mile 5-10 and hit the turn around, so I was really looking forward to the tail wind on the way back in! Sadly, I had a blow out on my rear tire. I pulled off and started to change, only to discover that my sidewall was completely split, so no fixes for me. :-(
Thankfully, a local spectator was right there and offered to drive me back into the start/finish area!
To make everything worse, based on my estimated finish time, I would have finished 3rd or 4th in my age group! Oh well, maybe next year....
What would you do differently?:

Not have an unfixable blowout

Event comments:

It's a fun little local race and it's cheap, but don't expect too much else out of it.
