Comments: I really liked the bike course, except for the rough surface in some places. The portion of the run in the park was really nice (except for the horseflies dive bombing everyone - who knew?) but the part on the main road was completely unshaded and rather hellacious.
Overall though, this was a good course and one I'll definitely do again. Every race teaches me ways I can improve, and I think I'm really still feeling out how hard I should go on the bike to save my legs for the run. I haven't gotten that one down yet. Since the run would have sucked regardless of my bike split, I should have hit the bike harder. As it was, my legs really weren't tired during the run - it was everything else that limited my speed.
