What would you do differently?:

I need to work on my bike speed...I would like to be at an 17.5-18 pace which for this course may be unreasonable for me, but Mooney did it at 18.3, so 18 it is not unobtainable with training and maybe some weights too.

Comments:

Felt pretty good and was trying to hit a 10 min pace and I ended at 10:05. I would like to get down to a 9 min pace on the run
What would you do differently?:

Run faster...need to do more speed work and train for another marathon.
