Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
No
Did you make it up all of the hills?
I did.
What was your favorite part of the course?
The finish.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
I caught up to the old man (fuzzy) but he didn't want to ride with me......
When did you put the hammer down?
I just warmed up the first lap....... the second lap I picked it up a little bit...... and the third lap I just kind of carried it through. I just rode steady because I knew how hard the course was.
Did you have any unusual problems?
No. Bike was great, and I had plenty of water so..... it was all good.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Yeah....... very good. The results were fast.
Is there anything you would like to add?
