Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?

Lack of riding, finals week (college), maybe the break helped me

Did you achieve your goals for this race?

Yes

Were you strong from start to finish?

Went out hard to get a good position into the single-track. Picked the pace up going into the 2nd lap when people started to let off.

Did you have any problems trying to get to the single-track first?

No

Were the riders courteous while passing in the single-track?

Most of the time

What was your favorite part of the course?

Anything single-track

When did you put the hammer down?

2nd lap

Did you have any unusual problems?

Nope

How would you rate the course?

Very fun course, big change from the mud at Hibernia

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Overall yes, would prefer a 2 minute delay start rather than the mass start
