Comments:

I wasn't completely recovered from being sick the last few days. In the prerun a week before I started too hard and didn't want to make the same mistake again. It was very hot.

Last year I also raced here and had to walk some technical sections. This time I stayed on my bike the whole way up and down. The downhill was very fast and you must be careful.
What would you do differently?:

I would not take it so easy next time. I have to remember that this is a race. I was too conservative in the climb.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was still a little sick. I haven't trained enough on the bike this year because of tri training. Anyways I beat last year's time by ten min.

Congratulations once again on preparing most of the report on your own. BT is also a great English-learning tool!

Also, good job on getting out there and racing while still being sick. I, for one, chickened out and watched you ride. Just goes to show who's the real hardcore athlete around this household.

Excellent job also on staying on your bike through the difficult sections and beating last year's results!
