Overall, pretty good for my first MTB race. I beat 3 girls in my category and 21 guys in their 2 hour race. I was exhausted after... never been that tired, not even after either one of my HIMs. Really challenging, but fun!
What would you do differently?:

Need to have more food - 2 shot blok packages, not just one

Be more tactical about positioning for the first lap. Got stuck behind a fat girl and probably could have gone faster

More training, so my legs can take more of a beating :-p
Post race
Warm down:

Coke and no moving for about 10 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The fact that I couldn't pedal any faster :-p Tactical errors in the first lap. Some slowing/stopping to let people pass.

Sounds like a challenge that you did a great job at.  Sorry about the fat girl on the 1st lap.
