It was a good ride. Passed about 20 riders and about 3 passed me. Felt like the jacket slowed me a bit. Took right turn into business park too fast in aero position that forced me to brake hard. That cost me a few ticks.

Good dismount without crashing this year.

Different shirt.

Ran bike into wrong rack row but quickly cut around to right spot.

10 lengths in serpentine layout. Could have gone a bit harder but race was over before I knew it. Tried but couldn't pass the guy in front of me. Kept getting to the wall about the same time and didn't want a collision. Could have picked up 10-15 more seconds but just stayed in draft position.
