Race rating (5)

Comments: This race is awesome. I had 10 times more fun doing the 5 hour solo than I did last year on a relay team, because I was going going going the whole time.

The bike maintenance guy did change my last flat for me and said it could have been a faulty tube. The hole was in a weird spot on the tube. The little metal squiggly things, I saw a few of them while walking, were likely from the sweeper he said. He said he had run out of tubes, must have changed 10 flats. I would have easily finished 2nd in my AG even with only 1 flat and probably with the 2 if I had changed my tube on the 2nd one. Great lesson learned. Each of my completed legs were 4th fastest in the overall standings, so I was doing great until the flat difficulties. This was definitely a different experience. I was happy with my nutrition
