Comments:

Was using a used 10 speed that I'd picked up at a bike shop the day before. The gear shifter was between my legs, and the thing neglected to allow me to shift into the highest gear. Quite a challenge. I got passed by everyone on the course except for the people on mountain bikes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad training, poor equipement, lack of experience.
