Bike was out of this world. Still cold wet and windy. Reached 38 MPH going down one hill, averaged 5 going back up it. Started cramping at about mile 12, consumed all my Accelerade and notice vast improvement. I was not pleased with my time but I have nothing to compare it to.
What would you do differently?:

More electrolytes pre race.
