Ride was great. There were ssome crosswinds and tailwinds that had me shaking at times. I am a very green biker so I feel good about how i handled the race and winds along with passing people. I found this ride very fun!
What would you do differently?:

become a better biker and hammer it without fear.

Performance: Good
Course: Ran through Moody Gardens sidewalks and roads. Some sharp turns. Felt so good. Had more in the tank. Passed up so many people, that alone felt amazing. I have NEVER had such a great 5k!! PR'd. I feel that the adrenaline that was left fom the swim anticipation had me going like never before. Even stopped once to fix ankle strap that was rubbing my skin.
