What would you do differently?:

Don't underestimate race length. Keep nutrition in hand. Re-gear to different chainrings, as I spent a lot of time in my lowest gear with nowhere to go. Punctured twice due to some rim tape issues- resolved my front wheel problem, need to take apart my back wheel and take a look at the rim tape there.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training hills, gearing, nutrition, body weight. Need to dial in my deraileurs. Resolve the puncture issue.

Event comments:

Organizers did an amazing job in making this pretty dang awesome. Just because I wasn't properly up to the challenge, doesn't make it any less awesome.
