Wow what a blast. Finished 99/125 racers...apparently Sven Nyes was in our race too. Pretty sure he blew by me when I was trying to reseat my wheel in the dropouts after getting clipped/banging it on a tree. Was either DFL, or wothin sniffing distance of it after I got my wheel back in halfway through the first lap. Passed about 20 people the rest of the race....pretty darn happy all things considered. Wheel I rebuilt myself even held up and is true as an arrow!
Was wheezing the whole time. I've got more legs/endurance/power than I need for the cat 4/5...had no problem powering up all the hills where lots of people dismounted and ran up. But cardio was seriously lacking...I sacrificed a ton of speed on the straighter sections due to fear of heart explosion. Being 38 is a ***** lol!
Need to do it again
