Still, most everything looks pretty good.

Raising your cadence will definitely help over time, but for starting out, 65 is fairly decently.

Garmin Connect will give you all the data that Strava will, but Strava is much more social and fun. And if you're super analytical and don't feel like doing the excel work yourself, VeloViewer can be a lot of fun for seeing how you're doing over time.
