Holy Crap! Where do I begin?

I started out too fast, with too high a HR. I didn't drink enough. But overall I was not in adequate cycling condition.
What would you do differently?:

Ride more. Drink more

I had no gas from the beginning. I had to walk three times and still couldn't get my HR to decrease.

Ride my bike more. Drink more on the bike.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Without a doubt, the largest impediment to my performance was my lack of cycling fitness.

Second would be my water intake. I consumed 64 ox of water in the 8 hours that proceeded the finish of the race but did not pee until 8 hours post race finish; and that was a pathetic, bright yellow effort. I am actually a little frightened now that I look back.

Event comments:

Excellent, well run race. I enjoy this one a lot.
