Pre-race routine:

I wrote a good race report, but the save failed and I lost it. I don't have time to re-write everything, but the short version is:
I'm happy with the race and my result, but if I'm going to be in contention, I have to be faster on the bike. I gave up 3-5 minutes on most of the top-10 and was only 1:46 out of 2nd place.

Event comments:

Great local race with great giveaways and post race food.
Just need to work on making the bike a bit safer (too narrow/crowded/bad pavement).

Wow, nice race... I was marveling at those sub-2 hour times... dreaming a little too.  I agree on the road conditions, some spots (South Lakes) were beautiful, others (Colts Neck) were a bit sketchy for any type of go-fast ridding.

Totally smokin' performance - especially on the runs.  Well done!

I hear you on getting a better bike.  If I see you at 7-11 buying a lottery ticket at the same time as me I'll be sure to say hello Laughing
