I am a much better on a bike than running. I used to mountain bike race a lot when I was young. My first Road bike race. I Had a lot of fun on this bike course!!!! Was able to make up a little time from my awful runs. The potholes could have been a disaster for me. I got lucky with those.
What would you do differently?:

Actually rode the course ahead of time. I was pretty happy with myself considering the runs before and after which wiped me out lol

Event comments:

My first race in 20 years so my evaluation could be subjective. I had a great time, very nice people that ran it. Met some very nice fellow athletes as well. I was really impressed with a lot of them.
Ill be back next year!

Course: Hilly, Two real good steep hills. One near a church, I prayed...didnt help. I HIT A HUGE POTHOLE HARD around mile 3.5 My Bike held, I thought I was done. I did see two others guys on the side shortly after. I assumed it was from that hole. I also passed a girl with a bloody arm around mile 8. I assumed also from that pothole. I felt real bad for these folks. The girl I passed didn't seem to be somebody I would pass on a normal day for her. This pot hole was pretty big.
