pretty cool. my old teammate was in that race (big guy in Luzzo's kit).

nice job thinking through and managing the course in the rain.

surprised you didn't sprint early with the downhill, you might have won. i won there two years ago. made the same move as you on the inside of the last corner and began to sprint as the radius of the curve eased up.

everybody hesitated and thought it was too early, but the downhill start made the sprint play out shorter than its actual length.
