holy cow. one of my best rides ever, felt hard but controlled the entire time, hard out to the turn around, then upped the pace about 15 watts on the way back and hammered it through the last 3rd or so.
ave 249 watts,
26.3 mph
What would you do differently?:

not too much. still getting used to the new bike/position but liking it so far, power levels are down a bit but i am going faster off this so position seems to be working.

What would you do differently?:

be running more.
Post race
Warm down:

went for a short jog.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

i think i raced pretty close to my fitness right now, i need a bit more harder run training to sharpen things up there a bit but all in all a very good race.

Event comments:

no chip timing, smaller race, but i love the course and its where i went to school so i have been back twice now since i graduated. probably the last year racing it though.

was very happy to finish a good solid 6 min or so ahead of 2nd:-)

David, Congrats on your win!! How great for you and on your home course. It is just amazing, your times and that is with nursing the knee injury. Congrats again!!  (I guess that means I have to go run now and not be a big slacker. )

Congrats on the race.

I am a little confused though, wasn´t the bike course supposed to be only 20K (12.5 miles?)
