Felt comfortable the whole time. Kept a really consistent pace. Looking back, given my time, I was actually going fairly slow, which explains why it was so comfortable.

Push the pace more.

First race with the aero bars. I tried to stay in them as much as possible. They felt good! I don't know how it affected my overall ride, but I can say I felt generally comfortable and easy, and was able to maintain a fairly good pace for the ride.

Push the pace.

Came out of my shoes WAY too early (I didn't realize how much we'd be riding through the park before dismounting. Oh well, that's better than forgetting to come out.

Slow! Started out at about a 10:15 pace, which is still pretty slow for a 10K race, and did ok for the first half, but in the second half, just kind of gave up. I didn't bonk like last year at OOB, and my legs and breathing felt fine the whole time, but I guess I gave in to the heat, and slowed down for the second half and took several walk breaks.

Cooled off in the ice tubs. Walked around.


Not sure. I think I was wary of the heat, and just took it fairly easy throughout the whole race. Finished feeling fine.
