Comments:

Felt really strong up front after running over a kid, lost no speed since the season ended which is great,
What would you do differently?:

Not run over the kid and lose weight, maybe push more towards the end...I had some left..

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight and some mental toughness

Event comments:

Good race, but not many good snacks afterwards, lots of waiting around time, still great competition and many volunteers, though most of them weren't cheering...a bit disorganized inside...
