Brent ended up borrowing a costume on site and going as a garbage can. I did 34 out of 38, about the same as last week. Thought I dropped my chain going over the first barrier and pulled aside to fix it, which put me at DFL so I was pleased to have passed a few racers before the finish.

Yeah, it looks weird there but it's gotta be an artifact of the photo/costume/my position going through that corner. I think I was leaning in pretty hard (kinda looks like my right knee is angled in a bit) plus that corner is about to go uphill so I may have been already starting to get out of my saddle. I'm pretty sure I have my saddle positioned correctly, but I will double check tonight to be sure.

Edited to add: Husband just posted a video of me during the race. Doesn't look like the saddle is too high to me...
