BikePortland's Jonathan Maus got a nice shot of me yesterday at Rainier before my derailleur exploded.
This is just past the top of the worst hill. For some reason, I thought I was doing OK on the steep part of the climb, but I hadn't saved anything for the smaller climb that immediately followed. At the moment this picture was taken, I was simultaneously making a futile attempt to reposition the brake lever that got dislodged when I crashed earlier in the lap and seriously considering dropping out of the race due to lack of fitness. Within 10 minutes of this picture being taken, I was out of the race with a DNF, as pictured in my previous post.
It's entirely possible that this picture captures the exact moment of the highest heart rate I've ever produced.
