Great ride for me. Powered up hills, probably passed 40 folks out there. Rode hard downhills as well. Good in the corners, but hills were pretty tough. Felt like I had drank too much and had to pee, but never stopped to do so.

Fiddled with shoe laces. Need to try those "quik" things. Big shot of GU and on the road.

nothing...quik lace ups.

Couldn't get the legs moving. Not a problem bike to run, just kind of dead legs. Rode too hard day before and during race.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had some bbq.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did not train hard enough. Just doing an Ironman 6 weeks early does not mean you are in "peak" physical condition.

Good race report.  Was the bike course part of the IM course?

"Just doing an Ironman 6 weeks early does not mean you are in "peak" physical condition."  That always cracks me up, even though I know it's true! 

Great job, I've heard this is kind of a tough course with all the hills.  I go to CdA early on the weekends to swim, but forgot that this tri was setting up early - so I didn't swim but got to watch a lot of the setup and say hi to the faces I recognized.  Same thing happened with IMCDA - I went to swim not thinking that all the IM would be out there swimming.  Duh...  It's funny, watching the setup I didn't have any pre-race nerves at all...  it's a completely different experience.  (I know, another duh).  Anyway, good job.
