Comments:

Some roads were wet others dry - Lots of uphill and fast down hills. FYI to people riding down hill - either haul down nice and fast in the middle of the road - or ride your brakes closer to the right......grrr.....
Infinit rocks!!!!!!!
What would you do differently?:

Probably should have taken longer breaks to stretch - I did stretch on the bike - but I was not expecting so many long climbs. It was hard to get out of the saddle and I ended up pulling a muscle in my lower back at mile 49 -grrrr....
