Comments:

Just didn't have any gears left after I got to the 20 mile mark. Had a tailwind all the way down to San Luis and fought the winds all the way back. 25 mph with 33 mph gusts. It was brutal.
What would you do differently?:

Probably have Selena take me a fully stocked fuel belt to the turn around for me next year.
Post race
Warm down:

Gotta great massage afterwards and hung out with the kids, Selena, and Rick!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness and the winds!!!
