Comments:

This was my first cylcing road race and it was quite fun. I have 7 triathlons under my belt but the cycling pace the peloton kept dropped me after 5 miles! Totally different from the bike portion of a tri, but it was pretty cool to bike in the large draft of the group. Will definately do some more races.
What would you do differently?:

I would train on my bike with more specific intervals of accelerating and high speed pedal work. Definately need to focus soley on the bike and cut out swimming and running to get the max performance i believe. More group riding would be good too.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not trained up enough.

Event comments:

Not much other than the race itself. Triathlons definately have more of a party or festive feel to them.

Performance: Good

Course: A big loop through downtown Frankenmuth then out to the countryside and fields and back in to town. Mostly flat, with a section on Tuscola Rd. with small rolling hills. Not a bad course, was more fun than i thought. A windy day with headwinds then cross winds with all the open fields.
