By the first turn I was hitting my stride pretty good and kept it up through mile one and two. It wasn't that I started out too strong, but more that when the hills started, I wasn't really sure how much longer I had, so I backed off too early. By the time I realized we were close to the finish, it was too late.
What would you do differently?:

Run through the hills at the last mile

50K Gambler - Harlem Dawg had a tough time at the starting gate (london bridge is falling down...) but once we got going all was well until mile 4 when we had to stop and adjust HD's (yes, once again) seat... The first stop was at ~6 mile mark (why so early?, i have absolutely no idea...) At the end I had a pair of Qs with 8 high... HD had a pair of Js with pride high : ) Good ride overall until we realized that the finish did not end up at the start and we had to bike an additional 3 miles (up the steepest hills of the course) back to downtown!

What would you do differently?:

Stay with the pack longer

Event comments:

Need to have 1st stop of the Gambler at the 10mile mark, not 6mi (too early).

Nice race!  man you're a speedy runner!

I give you credit for dealing with the hills onthe bike- I hate hills!  Hope to see you on more group rides with Andy J's!
