Comments:

Had to stop to go pee and needed more sports drink toward the end. I borrowed some race wheels and it made a really big difference, especially in the wind. I am going to have to buy myself some for sure.
What would you do differently?:

Buy a better arrow bar bottle that does not splash up at me.

Comments:

I needed to drink pop as I needed to let out some burbs. Tried salt tablets for the first time (I know, your not suppose to try anything new). I was confused on the miles as I forgot how to convert KMs.
What would you do differently?:

Have a better aid station plan, where a watch to determine when to take gels and learn how to convert from metric.
Post race
Warm down:

Got really tight fast. Walked, stretched and did some roller coasters!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to focus the winter on running.

Event comments:

There could have been more porta potties on the race.
