Headed North with the wind and kept a high speed. Heading South against the wind kept my head down and pusshed hard. Headeding back North again, passed a few riders and psuehd up to 24 mph and held for a little while.
What would you do differently?:

One of my better efforts on the bike. I pushed hard with the wind and was not conservative and it paid off in the end.

walked around, ate a few oranges, and drank some water. Found a popcycle and it really cooled me off.

My second attempt at this race. I took 12 minutes off of my time from last year. I was very pleased, improving on everything. This is a well organized race with plenty of food and drinks for after the race.
