OK, on the ride - I did want a 35 minute but the hills and not training in 2 weeks did catch up - I felt great on the hills, passed a bunch and did get passed by ZIA - or see ya, all I heard was WHOOOSSSH, and then the orange wheel , yup that was him.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder, I felt I should have done at least 20 mph with no issues

Good race - well laid out and plenty of room - did this last year and I was faster by over 10 minutes - so I am pleased.
