Comments:

Mildly pissed that some people cut the course. Only reason I did not say anything when I passed them again is because I passed them again.
What would you do differently?:

More bricks! Need to just be faster overall, and avoid endurance mode.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked while eating a bagel, an orange slice, and some juice. Beer later, but too hoppy and bitter. Overcast weather let me cool down easily but did not get too cold. Wish I had someone bring my post race bag.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Better training and a proper taper in the month leading up to the race.

Knowing where the fluids are, how they will fit on your bike, how much to reach for, and when to reach for it should be understood prior to ever setting foot on the course.
