Comments:

I wish we had a better way to work the ride portion of this race. By letting the tension all the way out, you could really fly with minimal effort. Had to keep some resistance to stay on the bike.
What would you do differently?:

Start out with less resistance. the first five minutes I was riding at a higher resistance, at 28mph before I started playing with the resistance, and got up to 34 and change.

Post race
Warm down:

Sat for 5 minutes to cool down, and walked around with wife to visit the facility.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wow was I really breathing hard. No pain at all in hip or right ankle. The only thing that stopped me was the lack of air in the lungs.

Event comments:

As always LTF does an awesome job. One complaint, no water bottles or bananas available. Good thing my wife was there to buy me a water when I got to the bike. I would like to see what intervals the 90 minute race do.
