Comments:

ouch. both calves cramped up as soon as I got off the bike. had a decision to make, decided I couldn't quit now... calves quit cramping after a half mile or so, I walked/jogged the rest of the course. hammy's were trying to cramp, and the whole body was just done.

I wasnt in quite as good of shape as I thought I was....
What would you do differently?:

Course: around the backside of Foy's lake, down to Wisher's junkyard on Cemetary Road and back. Couple of nice hills coming back to deal with. Sucked getting passed - the old girl just would not go any faster! I was at 'hull speed' most of the time. Don't think my endurance/fitness level made as much difference on the bike, except maybe on the hills and recovering from the hills
