Hills seemed steeper this year, might have been the wind. Otherwise, a good ride, had to slow up a lot to pass safely. Probably could have been faster, but played it safe.

Comments:

Didn't try to put the race number belt on in T2 this time, just grabbed it and started running and put it on during the run ... much faster this way.

Knew that a sub 23 would get me in under an hour for the race, so I pushed it pretty hard during the run. Felt good after about the first mile or so.
