Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
No, I pre-rode part of the course, and everything on the bike seemed to be set up ok.
Did you find the rock gardens challenging?
Not really. They kept the pace a little slow in sections.
Were the other riders courteous when passed or passing?
Most of the riders were great.
What was your favorite part of the course?
The first singletrack section immediately after the grass. It was fast and the traction was super.
Were you strong from start to finish?
Yes. Both laps were 45 minutes
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
The spectators cheering by the mud bog were fun.
When did you put the hammer down?
I was following Chad Delong for the first part of the race waiting for him to slow a little. When he slowed for a section, I made a quick pass and picked up the pace to make a gap.
Did you have any unusual problems?
The usual sticks in the derailleur/wheel
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Great!
Is there anything you would like to add?
Fun time, great weather
