Pre-race routine:

Logistics for the race were terrible. It was in a new development and the packet pickup, parking and transition areas were quite a distance. I had to stop at the clubhouse for the packet, drive to the parking area and bike 1.2 miles to the transition area. Fortunately I was there early and it was not a big race so it was easy to get set up.
Event warmup:

Some jogging, stretching. Didn't have much time.

Comments:

Bike was a nice route. Started off for about 3 miles with the wind at my back and kept up a pace of 22-23. If I realized the wind had picked up I would have pushed harder. The next 3-4 miles was into a strong wind but I kept my pace at above 18 most of the time. I had the wind for a couple of miles after that but the last 3 miles was back into the wind.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder for the first few miles.

Event comments:

Poor race logistics at the start. Well run race, lots of volunteers, good food at end. They did a good job for a first event.
