Found the bike really hard. Just felt horrible for all but the last couple of miles. Broke spoke on back wheel 3miles in, so spent most of the bike worrying I was going to buckle the wheel.
What would you do differently?:

Get my cadence better. I think it was too low.

Comments:

All the bikes had been re-racked in the wrong places, so had to squeeze it in. Made it a bit of a challenge.

Bike. Just wasn't feeling it. Need to figure out how to warm my legs up faster at the start.
