Comments:

I wasn't completely recovered from being sick the last few days. In the prerun a week before I started too hard and didn't want to make the same mistake again. It was very hot.

Last year I also raced here and had to walk some technical sections. This time I stayed on my bike the whole way up and down. The downhill was very fast and you must be careful.
What would you do differently?:

I would not take it so easy next time. I have to remember that this is a race. I was too conservative in the climb.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was still a little sick. I haven't trained enough on the bike this year because of tri training. Anyways I beat last year's time by ten min.
