I think I was stronger the second half of the bike because I definitely had the miles in my legs, but not the speed at that point. I moved in to third and was catching Chris Legh pretty quickly because he came off the bike about eight minutes up and his lead in the end was only about two minutes. So I had a good run. I think the race gave me a lot to focus on for the rest of the spring. I went into the race pretty tired, and afterwards I knew it was time to focus solely on preparation for an Ironman race, adding some more speed, more rest, etc.
Rest is key, all right.
All the athletes were fun to be around. There was also a big party at the end. I guess we'll have to wait and see, folks.
