I think the bike route was longer than 25 miles. More like 26 or 26.5. Had a very good ride. Stuck to my stratagy of starting easy and working into a good speed/cadence. I was a good feeling flying by people w/ expense bikes on my cheap schwin proluge.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Had a very hard time finding my transition spot. Wasted probally 40-50 seconds. Otherwise went smooth once I found it.
