thx I puked in my mouth after the line and it was worth it
the course is pretty much an "8" that you circumnavigate (many corners) with the long legs being up and down a hill. the dude that won had an excellent leadout which meant that ppls were just holding on for dear life that last 1/2 lap up hill. I somehow found it in me (probs cause my fam was there) to sprint after the last corner from 5th wheel. it made me puke
it was an awesome race 4 me. spent 4 laps OTF in the first half but im not that strong and no one joined me so I sat up. Lots of shuffling/moving/bumping and being agro about keeping my wheel in the last 5. Last 2 were balls to the wall so when I crossed the line for the bell lap at 5th wheel I knew I had a podium in the bag.
