This for some reason was the hardest part for me. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I was constantly being passed by people with really nice racing bikes, and I was chugging along on my mountain bike. It seemed like the course just kept going and going....
What would you do differently?:

Get a racing bike.

Chugged some water and half a GU packet.

Event comments:

I don't have anything to compare this race to - but I had a blast! The race area was really pretty. It was a little pricey to compete in this race though.
