Bike sucked. Should have got at least 2 or 3 more long rides in,but, considering the winter I had, is what it is. Felt better going into Soma last October with all those long death rides on the rez in!!!
What would you do differently?:

Got more long rides in.

Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Could have got more long rides in but fought being sick all winter. REALLY wished I could have got a sprint in before this race, just to get back into race mode....

Event comments:

This race was awesome!!!! Plenty of volunteers and finally something for the kids to do!!!! Really wished I could have done a race before this just to get the rust off, but, is what it is. I did a poor job of removing negative thoughts during the race. In the end, this was a great, challenging race! Loved the run course, medal, kidszone, and food afterwards. This was definitely the hottest long race I've done so far.
