Rode fairly well. Was hoping for 21 or better. Almost. Could have pushed a little harder.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder on the bike. To worried about being too tired on the run. Keep doing the interval work.1

Super nice race, nice town. Will definitely go back. Don't make the mistake of thinking that this will be a flat coastal course.

Nice work!  That hill at the beginning of the bike and run is a really hurts.  Glad you enjoyed the race/Fairhope. Congrats on an excellent result.

Thanks. You had a great race as well. Sure wish I could ride like that. I'd be so thrilled to just average 22 in a race at some point.
