Post race
Warm down:

bitch and moan for a bit, cold water and towel, easy spin back to the parking lot

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I went out with a fast group in the 100k ride. The hills in the first 8 miles were brutal and really toasted me. Stopped a lot. only 180 base miles at the start

Event comments:

It's a small rally, only in it's fifth year. They had a larger turnout than expected however. There was almost no one at the finish except my wife to cheer anyone home. I only visited one rest stop, well manned with kids, Gatorade and water and Ice cold paper towels that I stuffed in my jersey pocket.
I just don't have enough miles on my legs with 6 weeks of training. I rode largely on memories of past "glory" instead of current reality
