Event comments:

Early April is a tough time to race, but the race was well organized and it is a really tough field. PR'd by mins. I need a lot of hill work, but riding the day before for 90' on the drainer probably didn't help (but that is still a lame excuse), Hard efforts on the run made up for a poor showing on the bike. Happy with the result though.
