first race results

so today i had my first race. it was a great ride, 4 laps around a 4 mile loop with one 1 mile hill a gradual ascent and a high speed downhill. i ended up coming in 6th, but lead for the first 3 1/2 laps but died at the last climb . i need to start actually training and not just doing school sports hahaha.

heres the info from my garmin:

Awesome job.

If all cat 5 races are this easy, 18 mph average over less than an hour, I could do this. I can do that solo. I did do that solo today.

it was a junior race so it wasnt very intense and i really wish i had gotten in mor ethen two rides (the two light rides right before the race) it would have been a much different story
