Stopped for a drink. Racked bike slowly. Lots of room to improve.

Uphill for the first half. The finish is all downhill -- if you make it to the turn-around, you're home free.

Run harder. Ended with too much gas in the tank.
Post race
Event comments:

Great volunteers. Great support from the town (police). Good course for a first timer.

Ending the race away from the porta-potties is a problem.
