Had a good ride. Had to stop midway through lap 2 to check on another rider who wiped out right in front of me. Probably cost me 30 seconds. I felt like I rode well and pushed the right amount.

Good job!!!  I didn't know you was called into work the morning of your race.  That would've made me nervous.  You probably got chicked by the same two gals that chicked me at Pappillion and the Black Squirrel a couple years ago.  Anyway, good job.  Especially with the amount of training you had.
