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

Spoke to many people who raced before for advice. I took a little from everyone and gave it my all.

Was the water crossing fun?

Much fun expect for the last one where my chain came off from hitting a rock.

What was your favorite part of the course?

I must say the entire course, it was very FAST.

Were you strong from start to finish?

I gave it my best to get out in front of the pack and rode hard to keep the lead the whole race.

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

Everyone was very cool and laid back.

When did you put the hammer down?

In the start and 3/4 into the race.

Did you have any unusual problems?

NO , good luck from the go.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes it was very organized.

Is there anything you would like to add?

I am looking forward to the next one and working my way up the ladder to the next class/Sport.
