Comments:

Got stronger near the end. Think I need a longer event to be competitive. I am just not a sprinter; I do endurance and need a long time to get my act together.
What would you do differently?:

If I do this next year I will use a fixed gear bike, run barefoot and use only a back stroke. It's too short a course for me.

I couldnt get my jersey on. Cost me at least 50 seconds. I should have ridden without it.

Ride bareback

Need a longer course. The longer the course the better rank I will get. Just about the time I was feeling comfortable and getting the power in my legs it was time to run.
What would you do differently?:

Probably ride the flex
