Comments:

Very well supported. The volunteers were so nice. They were extremely helpful. Several of the farmers on the route set up tents and left water on the route. It was really hot but the Tour can't control that. The burgers at the end were great. Showers outside were nice. Would do this again. Wish it would have started at 7am instead of 8am.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing much.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat under a water sprinkler, changed clothes and ate a burger.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat was rough. Started at about 17mph going out but slowed coming back due to dehydration and fatigue.

Event comments:

Lots of aid stations along the way. The weather was so hot, I think everyone was glad to have them. Very well organized. Nicely done.
