Comments:

I really wanted to break 50 on this course, but I got tired around mile 10. The headwind coming back in was kind of tough and that slowed me down. I just hate wind. I tried to keep my cadence up (over 75) and focus on spinning smoothly. A couple times I caught myself mashing the pedals though. Bad habit. As usual, most people passed me pretty quickly. I wasn't last in though. Kelly started about 6 min behind me and he came in after me.

What would you do differently?:

I have a real bad habit of backing off when I see a hill. I'm working on that, but it's still happening. No idea why. Maybe I'm trying to save energy before a big effort. It is stupid and I need to stop it. I also need to keep working on the cadence.

Post race

Warm down:

None really, as usual.
