Fast I guess. Garmin measured the course short a bit. I left transition with another guy, I was announced leaving as was he, they said he had won two local road races. He took off and was gone. I saw a few leaders on their way back in, and chased down 1 guy early otherwise I just ran alone.

It is far easier to chase.

I was maybe 20th OA to finish.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster.
Post race
Warm down:

Muscle Milk. Waited for volunteers to leave massage tent so I could get in. Hung out ate food. Went back to the hotel. My girlfriend and daughter hit up the pool while I packed. Then drove home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

This was a C-series for me. I had an awesome time, and would love to race it again. Tons of fun, but more vacation than race. I had almost 2 beers each day, pizza Friday night and random food Saturday.

I was also swimming and hiking with my daughter. I was not as serious as the overall winners.

As a result it was some of the best racing I have ever had. I was 24th started each day and got to chase down a few people each day and had a few people pass on the bike. It was nice to race at the pointy end of the field, I could not imagine starting later on.

Event comments:

Plan on returning next year.
