Took a 5 minute jog and stretched a little. Spotted some in my age group, we will call him green hat guy from here on out. Never saw the other 2 in my age group.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Thought I had a good pace.

Past green hat guy right out of transtition and never thought I would see him again. Was feeling strong first 6 miles, then the wind picked up. About mile 7.5, green hat guy past me looking like he was on a Sunday ride. I thought oh shit. Kept pushing to keep him in my sights. Second half had wind in my face.

Nothing, maybe a couple more bricks.
