Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
No not for this race.
Did you like the way Guy's ran each category separately to reduce traffic due to the large turnout?
Yes I loved racing with just expert and no sport racers.
Were you happy with your choice of tires?
Yes they were sketchy in the mud but rolled real fast.
What was your favorite part of the course?
Probably all the short steep power climbs.
Were you strong from start to finish?
Yup
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
No not really.
When did you put the hammer down?
From the start but I really hammered it the last two laps.
Did you have any unusual problems?
Just a little chain suck but nothing major.
How would you rate the course?
Really good, it was fast paced and lots of short power climbs. a 8.5 on a 10 scale.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Yes, results were so fast at this race compared to the others.
Is there anything you would like to add?
Guy's Racing did a good job with results and that they started experts after
sports so we got the course to ourselves.
