Comments:

I went right out in 5c for a couple of minutes, dropped to 5b for a few; then rode the last 4 minutes back at 5c. I didn't know how to pace a race this short, so I just rode all out.
What would you do differently?:

Since my pace was actually faster at 10k, maybe I'd try holding back a little. My cadence was very high throughout, average 99. I don't know if that's good or not good.
Post race
Warm down:

Spun high rpm on other bike on the trainer for 5-10 minutes Ate 1/2 Recoverite bar & hung around socializing until 2nd race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just need more training & conditioning.

As the fog cleared, the buoy that I first saw earlier in the morning was just the first marker in a very long line of buoys that stretched across the lake like a runway for a 747 jetliner.
