Comments:

Ended up with a group of about 5 or 6 riders who were each (including myself) trying to outdo each other. There was an old bastard who was a pain in the ass who kept yelling for everyone to stay to the right so he could pass I think. Ate a gel every 25 mins, which allowed me to do the run without cramping.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, bery enjoyable, except for the old bastard.

Left the transition with a bottle of water which I made last until mile 3...then I put the plastic bottle in someone's mailbox as I didn't want to litter
What would you do differently?:

maybe hydrate a little more as around mile 5 a cramped a bit in the lower quads..not enough to bonk though
Post race
Warm down:

walking around drinking water and talking to folks...little stretching
