Comments:

The trail was awesome. First time for me on the Poto. In hind sight, started a bit too far in the back. Ended up with some stop/go congestion for the first 2-3 miles. Traffic cleared up and was able to get into a groove. First 7 miles were pretty technical. Lots of rocks, roots, and quick up/downs. Second half flattened out a bit, and felt a lot faster (even though my splits don't reflect it). Killer hill at about 12 that I thought would never end.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe start a bit closer to the front... other than that - it was a great race.
