I did the 3/4 race, totally impromptu (I was in charlotte for a wedding and brought my bike). The race was literally two blocks from my in-laws place where we were staying so I decided to sign up. Killer mistake - I decided to do a recon lap to get a sense of turn 4, which meant I started at the back. I got killed by the accordion on the first lap (almost came to a dead stop), managed to dragged myself back but not far enough and got gapped again on lap 2 for good. Rode around in a group of three for 20 minutes before the break lapped us and we got pulled. Waaaaaay too much effort to DNF. But, I got my first race jitters worked out and now motivated to redeem myself.
