Event comments:

I improved 2 minutes from 2010. I was in a very competitive AG. 5th is a little disappointing, but overall I had a fairly strong race. I always lose significant time on the bike. Until I dedicate more time on the bike (any maybe get a new bike), this will always be my limiting factor.
