I, also, got 15th.
Highlights:
- There was a 2 man break for about 3 laps. The most they got was about 30 seconds. Impressive nonetheless
- The sixth and penultimate lap was very slow. Not 16mph slow, but slow. I think we averaged about 24 mph for the day. (Remember kids: average speeds are not indicative of effort without taking other factors into account)
- In the last lap, I stayed in the top 10, usually top 5. I probably burned a little too much energy doing this.
- About a mile or two from the finish, there was a van stopped in the course, literally blocking the entire lane. Everyone should have had a yellow line DQ there. That would have been pretty cool.
- On the uphill finish, my shifting sucked, I was out of gas, and I got passed by about 10 people.
