Pre-race routine:

About 8:00 I got a Breakfast Burrito at McDonald’s and starting drinking Gatorade. I took a Tylenol and IBProphen about 8:30. I headed to the start about 8:45. Others were late so we got started about 9:15.
Event warmup:

Since this was a group ride vice race there was on real warm-up.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing at this point. I am happy with my training and riding. Spring Classic will be a better point to evaluate my riding.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

For this ride I was where I wanted to be. I climbed as fast as everyone in my group and was passed by only a few riders. I would always like to climb faster but I am very happy with where I am at.


Event comments:

It was a good ride on a fairly warm day. The rains came after we were done. I had a bowl of Chili and some Cheese bread. Lots of draft beer available for purchasing.

Course: The course was a flat out and back to Hillsboro with two significant climbs. The two climbs were over Portland's western hills. First you climb up the back side of the hill to Sylvan then you climb up old German Town Road to get to St John's.
