No one to ride with/against. I chased a couple of folks down but they tired. Early season, lots of folks really impacted by the wind which wasn't too bad. No hills on this course which should have resulted in a better mph.

Much better that T1. The rack was a mess.

Post-race should be better and suprisingly low # of participants when this is the only race in the area for weeks.
