first mile was 6:00 realized that wasn't happening for the last two so I settled into a comfortable pace. It was my first 5k under 20 mins ever.

Comments:

I hung with 5-6 guys unitl the last 2 miles when the head wind started. Needless to say I did not belong up front with these guys. I'm proud to say I was the first road bike with clip-on aero bars into transition, and i beat a fair amount of $4000+++ bike with $2000+++ wheels. just goes show you it the engine you put on the bike that makes it fast not the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Spend $4000 on a bike and $2000 on wheels. Why because their freaking awsome.
