Comments:

Felt great, passed many other riders. Was trying to save some juice for the run. Did not use bike shoes to save time since I don't have even pressure on pedals with bike shoes yet.
What would you do differently?:

Use nike shoes. More agressive, more pain.

Ate some fruit and a bagel. No stretching, to excited to think about it.

Newbie.
