Comments:

Worst bike in a long time. I can't remember the last time I raced under 20 miles per hour on the bike. I think this was 4 minutes slower than I did the bike last year. I have done this course at 21.8 mph and I knew I was in trouble halfway through. I was on the blue trek again and it hasn't been professionally fitted, but I still have 2 longer races on this bike at over 20mph. I am losing some bike form and it has me worried. For the first time in 3 years I was beat by Marcy and Worm and for the first time ever Frank outbiked me. Gotta get serious.
What would you do differently?:

Train more, get this bike fitted, and get my p3 back working.

Post race
Warm down:

Got a great massage.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think my fitness has suffered and I need to get back to longer workouts. I still have good power but my stamina is off. The first run was very good but I was spent when it was over.

Event comments:

The best value race we do. Marcy won her age group and her sister came in 3rd. Frank was 14 overall, but didn't trophy. Saw a lot of good friends from New Orleans at the race. We have now done this race with addresses in LA, FL, and Alabama.
