Well around lap 2 or 3 (can't remember now) I was grabbing a drink when someone tried to force me off the wheel I was following (why I don't know, I was in third position in mile 8 of 28 and he decided to pull in from the right on the flat after the hill after the Grand Amy plaza entrance). So anyway, I had to use both hands to keep from going down, so my bottle gets away from me. I ride another three laps without water, then get dropped from the group and abandon after finishing 6 laps. It's amazing how hard that course is with no water. Oh well, there's always next season.
