Comments:

Don't have actual time and finish order yet. I'm guessing on my time, hoping for faster, but since bike computer doesn't work, the best I can come up with. I took it out too hard again and was toast by the turnaround. Luckily there are enough downhill/flat recovery areas that I can make it through. I think I climbed the last hill better this time. Lady starting behind me passed me at the turnaround. She's fast! 4 women raced; I'm thinking I wasn't last, but not sure if I got 2nd or 3rd. More likely 3rd because same lady beat me last time too.
What would you do differently?:

Manage the start better.
Post race
Warm down:

Very easy 5 miles.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Starting too fast.

Event comments:

This is a rather informal monthly time trial series put on by the JMC. It's very well run, relaxed, and even with all the uber bikers, not intimidating and a lot of fun.
