Had trouble getting into shoes

Lost race number 2X! 2X! Felt ok in beginning, really, really tired at end...but that is good.

Secure race belt more tightly

Warm down:

Ran another 1.5 miles easy, long good stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

2 errors: race number AND cycle shoes. Biggest thing though is comfortable average speed on the bike...need to up it 1 mph.

Event comments:

Good, well run race, and finally some good weather. A lot of "A" caliber young guns (<25).
