Comments:

Great ride for me as I maintained a really good pace throughout the ride. Was able to pass a lot of people. For about 1/3 of the ride 4 riders and I continually leapfrogged each other. Not sure why none of us could simply pass and go on. Saw a group of 6 riders get flagged for drafting just ahead of me. They deserved it too. They rode in a pack for awhile.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I road at an above average pace and maintained a good HR. All those bike rallies I've been doing have paid off

Comments:

This was the leg I was worried about. I have really neglected my running and haven't run over 5 miles in 6 months. Tried to maintain 9 1/2 min. mile pace and was consistent with this. I only walked 3 times which is REALLY good for me. At 5 miles I picked up the pace to 8 min miles for the rest of the run....and I maintained it!!!! It was sweet, I actually passed people at the end of the race. Maybe I should under train more often
What would you do differently?:

Not walk at all. I could have done it but it is SOOOO tempting at times
Post race
