Pre-race routine:

Didn't get any warm-up really because we got there late, and then I stood around for 15 minutes waiting b/c of the time trial start.

Comments:

My goggles got messed up twice and I didn't get a warm up. Both of those things probably cost me a few minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Get my own directions, and warm up, and get un-warped goggles.

Great bike segment. Only area I thought I could improve on was hills. Had a few rough ones. Miles 18-22 I think my speed never dropped below 25mph. No one passed me. Not one person.

Tell the race director to plan a different course.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not having ever done a race this length before was the only performance limiter.

Best race packet ever, plenty of food, lots of volunteers.
