Comments:

Didnt ride hard. First 20 miles was slow going because of the crowd. Had a pedal issue around mile 25 that needed repair. Next 30 miles was fairly routine. Didn't really feel the effects of the heat until mile 65. Just seemed to have problems getting body temp down. Hydrated well, ate plenty of calories, just was getting overheated. Because of this I had to stop at both the 70 and 90 mile rest area.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank fluids, camped out in the fire hydrant spray for about 5 minutes, that was very nice. Went back to the hotel and took a nap then pigged out at chinese buffet.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Obviously the heat.
