Comments:

The only thing that I could think of was: "what did I get into?" but once I finished the event I was relieved and felt great sense of accomplishment. I wasn't trying to break any records, but I made myself the promise to not walk my bike. I brought it to ride it, not to walk along side of it.
What would you do differently?:

Get a couple bottles of water on top of my camelback. Try for a better time next race. I was more focused on finishing than I was on my time.
Post race
Warm down:

Just a quick peddle for 3 blocks.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not knowing the course and trying to save energy for the end.

Event comments:

Great event, I was very impressed with the organization.
