Comments:

first time trial for me, was a bit nervous, and it was soo cold. I did not realize how cold it was untill about mile 6 when I got a fabulous cramp in my left calf that caused me to slow down to 10mi/hr. At that time I wished I warmed up more. Overall im happy, the average speed is a PR for me.
What would you do differently?:

warm up more
Post race
Warm down:

put on a bunch of layers

What limited your ability to perform faster:

need more warmup, need to ride more

Event comments:

post race energy bars, home baked goods, beer, it was too cold at sunset for people to hangout and talk.
