Started very fast (1:15), then struggled with breathing. Would probably try to pace myself better at the start (though I was way out in front on my heat.)

Slow down the start

A little pressed to get the bike set up properly

Overall surprised at my ability to hold the cadence for the whole time

Could have pushed just a little more

Did better than I thought I would. Concerned about high HR compared to my typical bike, but still had a fair amount In the tank at the end

Better early pace would have probably added .1-.2 miles. Also could have started kick at 5 min left instead of three

Stretched, wandered around aimlessly until i could think straight, then took a shower.


Inexperience with race pace


Extremely well organized well staffed. Spin room people were be
Very encouraging.
