I really don't know much about my cadence or anything. I just jumped on the bike and started peddling like mad. I finally found a rythem but I really need to work on the part of my trianing.

Learn how to ride!

Again, I'm not sure how I did on the 2nd leg but I "think" it was close to the 1st leg. I felt okay about it.

Nothing really.

Took a long ride with my family.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

poor biking skills.

Had a good time and it's comes at a good time to sort of test your skills early in the season. Will do it again.
