Comments:

Good run for a workout. Rode about 4 hours yesterday, so I was just using this as a workout. Ryan and ran about 5 tempo miles with 1 mile recoveries, and all but the last one felt pretty good. Just started getting tired at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Not wear so much clothing, I was hotter than hell out there. Not sure what I was thinking, a t-shirt would have been plenty.
Post race
Warm down:

Food, beer, massage. Pretty much perfect.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fatigue and desire. Just using this as a training day to see how it felt on tired legs after a long ride.

Event comments:

Good little early season training race to use as a tune up or just a nice training day. I would run this again in the future.
