Comments:

Legs felt good the whole race. I was worried because I did a hard 70km the day before. Kept a nice steady 5:50 pace for first half, then sped up the second half. Many people passed me at first but then I started passing people in second half. I screwed up in the last 2 km. I thought I only had one km left so I started sprinting. Later realized I had 2km so my last km was slower as I was tired.

What would you do differently?:

Read markers more carefully. Dummy. Maybe have lap number showing on Garmin screen.
