Course was damp from previous day. Several u-turns added at last minute due to field size
What would you do differently?:

Pedal harder and focus on pressure throughout spin. For such a short distance, need to leave nothing on course.

Comments:

Payment was wet. Socks got soaked running into transition. Speed laces helped tremendously. Feet out of shoes and on top - good job.
What would you do differently?:

Look into not wearing socks.

Event comments:

Well organized. Refreshments afterwards from Panera! Immediate post race results! Awards ceremony seemed lacking. Didn't matter since no award won.
