Monday's result:Over 40 Cat4...The race started under clouds and finished in the rain. 40min + 3 laps resulted in 17.1 miles with avg speed of 23.6 mph.

I'm not sure where I finished in the 40+ Cat 4. I was freezing and had no other clothes to change into besides a t-shirt so I left before they posted the results.

Approx little over half-way in the race the rain came down hard. The race started quick with a Tower rider dirving off the front. After this settle down, they had 3 primes in a row. My hat off to the rider in Grey that went off the front for prime 1 and 2. From what I can tell you had one of the primes. He did the same for the 4th prime. I'm not sure if he got it since it was a sprint for the prime. I kept with the pack and responded to each surge. I felt good and about 33 min in I glanced down and saw my HR at 120. My avg HR was 133 with max of 170. I had my tires at 120psi and was gentle with the turns toward the end due to the rain Otherwise, I would have been going hard through the last half lap and attacking the turns. I think I ended about 15th to 20th. I felt good in the race and am considering what I can do if I push myself to 145/150 HR.

Edit: I placed 16th out of 30.
