Good race today...could have been better result wise, but super fun. Perfect gearing for me today on the SS. Started off great and was picking people off steadily on the 1st lap and a quarter lap into the 2nd my chain bounced off on a bumpy section after leaving one of the paved sections. Doh! Chain wrapped around the BB and kinked a bit. Took a bit to get it back on and now I was DFL. Took the next three laps to chip away 14 riders to ride in for 40th. It hurt. I suffered mentally and physically. Wanted to quit each lap and wanted to puke at the end. A great day indeed!

Best feature of the course was the corkscrew before the 1st set of quadruple barriers. So much fun!
