Good bike for me. CEP had me at 41:39, but that time includes both transitions, so the speed is a little faster. Bike computer had me averaging 18.9 with a 22 max.
What would you do differently?:

Couldn't get into the big ring, but this is my last event with this bike. I'll be on the new one soon!

Ouch for the first 100 or so yards.

More bricks!

Comments:

I feel now like I was saving some energy on the run, although I didn't feel it at the time. I think I could've pushed myself harder (maybe).
What would you do differently?:

Push myself harder on the run - - although I wouldn't be able to make up thr 5 minutes between me and the guy who placed 3rd in my AG.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need more time in the saddle and more brick workouts. Very happy with the swim and pretty happy with the run, but I still need work on the bike.

Event comments:

Lots of volunteers.
