Just did my 1st 56 mile race

as part of a 1/2 ironman. 
It was 12 C and it rained hard for most of the way. It took me 3 hrs 49, slow but I had never cycled more than 42 miles before.
My feet were so numb I could barely walk when i finished. I think I would have been quicker if:
I were fitter and lighter, natch
I had tri bars
I had a fast bike and not my 300 squid CB triple (which did an admirable job)
I wore all skintight clothing
I wasn't so nervous and slow on the descents (a few folks came off).
Don't feel too bad today 24 hours later, all I can think about is doing it again, quicker. It was murder but it was great.
