This was the best run I have done in my life. I just was able to continually open my stride and drop packs of people in front of me.
After the race, one guy actually called me a 'gazelle'! Which I never thought I'd here when it came to running.
What would you do differently?:

I ran the best race of my life!

Comments:

Took my time in T1, so I think I could've cut a full minute off my finishing time. But for not racing in 2 months, I think I handled it pretty well.
What would you do differently?:

Just practice the transition before the race.

Really happy with this ride since I had not been riding much for about a month or so.
Got overtaken by a guy I passed at mile 5, but he tucked in about 30 feet behind me and just fought to stay on my wheel.
With 2 miles to go, I didn't know he was reving it up to pass and he got by me pretty quickly.
I fought with everything I had to stay close, but couldn't pass him back.
I had used too much energy pushing into the wind.
He passed me for 3rd place and I knew that I was trying to hold on. This probably made me push a bit too hard and allowed him to have a bit extra at the finish.
I'm still very happy with this ride.
