I held back more than usual as I completely blew up on the run last year. Even holding back I still beat my last year's bike so my bike fitness must have significantly improved.
What would you do differently?:

Probably could have pushed a little harder.

Comments:

I'm not a runner and after last year I decided to try and save a decent amount and kill the run as best I could and it seems that it worked out as this was my 2nd fastest 5k in a race which is really impressive to me as this is a very hard run course.
Post race
Warm down:

got some water and went to the hill to cheer on the wife to the finish.

Event comments:
