Really happy with this given I did the Palm Spring Century the day before. Didn't feel great early, but obviously recovered well.
What would you do differently?:

Back off the first two miles
Post race
Warm down:

Found Jackie & Ryan and walked for 10 min. until Cherie finished.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Riding a hard century the day before, but that was the point. Great training weekend.

Great low-key smaller race.
