Comments:

There was a lot more climbing that I thought there would be.

What would you do differently?:

I'd bring my road bike instead of my tri bike and try to hang with the 72 mile pelotons. And I wouldn't put energy drink in my aero bottle where it can splash out everywhere.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably my lack of climbing ability compounded by my tri bike which is geared very high.

Event comments:

The race itself was fine, but the awards ceremony was disorganized and dragged on and on.
