Comments:

Struggled mile 8, 10 and on. 8 had a larger elevation gain and went against the wind for a bit. 10 and on was either fueling or just being tired.

I set a PR, but didn't hit my goal.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure, maybe carry a water bottle with sustained energy instead of gels and relying on course water.
Post race
Warm down:

Training and fueling.

Event comments:

A fun race, but not a lot happening after it.
