Rule #4: it is all about the bike, period.
Lighter = Better times at same wattage.

12.3 miles in 37:36 at 19.7 mph avg. -582.5c--75.5fc-- 27.3 max. [from a computer mapped to a 32mm tyre but rolling on 28's. ============= http://connect.garmin.com/activity/78501512 Compare to my best: 36:48 riding a 52:16 fixie with no brakes, water, tools, and shaved legs. Same conditions roughly, energy may have been more during the RGTPS race plus I had great Moral support.

What I would do differently next year:
1. Better carb loading
2. Don't ride a 60 miler the previous day.
3. Rule number 5.
5. Build a lighter / sleeker bicycle
6. Shave my hippy ass body proper.
7. Have a well oiled chain and free spinning hubs.
8. Fix the shoe cleats.
All in all I had fun and I am happy that I beat my crappy time from last year, even if by a minute, it is still improvement.
