Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
I had chicken wings and a salad last night.
Were you strong from start to finish?
Yeah. I felt good from start to finish. I felt better on the second and third lap. The first lap I was kind of warming up...... but....... it was a fun course.... it felt good...... I rode well.
Did you have any problems trying to get to the single-track first?
No....... no....... it actually spaced out a little into the first gradual climb. By the time we hit the single track it wasn't too bad.
Were the riders courteous while passing in the single-track?
Yeah......... very much so.
When did you put the hammer down?
I just rode steady the whole time...... I didn't really attack at any certain time. I just tried to keep it steady......keep it smooth.
Did you have any unusual problems?
No.
How would you rate the course?
Super fun..... very dry...... it's a real nice course....... good setup...... I really liked it.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
OK.... but...... wondering why results are taking sooooooooo long??
Is there anything you would like to add?
