I think this was my best bike ever. Not the fastest time, but finished with a 27th overall rank on the bike. There was a ton of blocking and drafting on the course. One woman even road on the left hand side of the lane the entire time. It almost created accidents a couple of time because it was so hard to get around her.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Event comments:

I think I'm peaking just in time for the 1/2 IM next week. This was my best overall race performance to date and I had some great training sessions the week before. We shall see.
