First flat tire!!! Super nice guy (bib 541) stopped to help me out and gave me a tire and pump. Took a couple minutes (I estimate 5-10) but not really sure. Thanks very much sir (after the race I hunted down the race director to let him know, so hopefully he gets something for his kindness)! Bike course was hillier and a bit tougher than I expected, but felt ok.
What would you do differently?:

Not get a flat :(

What would you do differently?:

nothing.

Flat tire sure didn't help...
