Comments:

The bike was challenging - long uphill for a good portion of it. Nice day, nice course. My leg felt good the whole time.
What would you do differently?:

Practice the course in advance. More training in advance. A sore leg slowed training in the 3 weeks prior to the race - but I was well rested and that helped.
