Really hit it harder than I planned but it went well. Made my 4 hr goal by 10 minutes!
What would you do differently?:

Change bike cassette for hills!

A little cramping at one point, glad I packed extra salt tabs and an extra bottle of water in my jersey!

One of the top long distance races in North Texas. Lots of volunteers, intersections patrolled, signs, arrows painted, great venue. This is a fundraiser for area charities. No fluff!!

Can't get the Garmin to upload. Error! Come on BT!
Wind: Strong with gusts
Course: County roads from Cleburne to Glen Rose and back, hilly, black top, some shoulder. And a Norther blew in last night, dark clouds, cool north wind, etc. Unfortunately it warmed up and the wind kept increasing from the North. Which gave us a strong head wind for the last 30+ miles :(
