Comments:

start was rough, lots of folks who could not navigate well and swimming zigs, lots of bumping, sandwiched between two guys for the first 200m, after rounding 1st turn I cleared traffic and caught some speed
What would you do differently?:

Get out faster and stay in front (avoid traffic)

Comments:

tweaked rear derrileur night before and lost most of my middle gears (frustrating); kept pace and hydrated/refueled properly
What would you do differently?:

pre-race w/u to ensure gear working properly; hit pedals more during periods of recovery.

nothing.

Comments:

Very hard; toughest run (including training runs) this year; still kept pace and raced well. Had to walk about 25m of last steep hill. Objective was to keep fellow Clydes behind me (acheived).
What would you do differently?:

Train hills, big hills. Work on loosening up calves a bit sooner.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching, water, sunkist soda, stood under shower tent to c/d, thanked family (helped get me through finish line even faster)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need more training on hills, both run and bike; bike longer distances to ensure endurance is good.

Event comments:

Take Cornelius Rd. out of bike course (road condition was terrible) and ensure 16 mile course (my gps rated 14.8 miles).
