I push the bike a little harder then I had expected but I was able to keep it up and not blow up on the run. I think the race tires help a lot since I felt more grip when I was taking corners.

The run was good, I feel like I finish with some fuel in the tank and could have maybe could have pushed a little harder. My legs didn't feel to bad at the start, I thought they were going to feel like a block of lead after how I had ridden the bike.

Walk around got water and snack on the food they had out.

Nothing, it was a good race.

Very nice people who put on the event. The 1-3 were coffee cups that had the race name and the place you finished. I thought it was a pretty cool idea and the cup pretty nice.
