Should have had coffee but nothing was open... should have also done some strength training. Started cramping in my hamstrings at km 28...

Rode bike back to Airbnb

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too many people and hard to find the starting corral as well as the bags after the race as we had to walk a lot. Paris was better organized.
