Comments:

Sweet! Love this ride. Killed last year's time too. Felt better than last year.
What would you do differently?:

Ride it faster! Try to get a real team put together next year that will be able to ride together as a team for the full 100 miles. Felt like an abandoned orphan leaching off of whatever group I could this year.
Post race
Warm down:

S-t-r-e-t-c-h and then S--t--r--e--t--c--h some more. Swimming and tubbing after to relax the muscles.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of aerobar pads (errgh!) so I couldn't easily drop into aero form, and my legs just sucked on the hills. Couldn't sprint the hills with the rest of the group I was hanging with (even though they were teeny little hills). Just didn't have it.

Event comments:

This ride is so great, tons of fun, and for a good cause. They've got everything (and I mean everything) at the aid stations/lunch stops, and you couldn't ask for a faster course. It's awesome!
