Hard fall over first speed bump in camp. Among other things had nosebleed and had to wait about 5 minutes for it to stop & get ready to ride. Chain fell off- race crew put it back on. Chain fell off again about mile 2; easily put it back on.
Overall, very pleased with getting through and improving time from past years.

Lots of things good, some things need improvement.

Something needs to be done about those speed bumps.
Run course just too hilly--find new route with at least some flat stretches.
