Comments:

the absolute coolest bike ride of my life.

I was in 1st for the first 12 miles, it was just me and a pace car. All I could hear was my breathing, the truck, and the disc roaring. I dont even want to do another individual biathlon, I think I would rather do a team and do the bike portion of it. It was just the craziest feeling being out there alone with the pacecar.

got passed at around 12 miles by a 33 year old roadie, but I didnt have enough left to "attack" my heart rate was already at 193 at that time from trying not to get passed so I couldnt do much about it.
What would you do differently?:

nothing at all

maybe more tits
Post race
Warm down:

went and rode around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wasnt able to do the run because im stuck in a soft cast for a sprained toe, but the bike was fine.
