Comments: This was an extremely well run event. Well marked, plenty to drink, fun etc. etc. Looking at the distances and presuming mostly flat, i figured I would be done in 1:20 or so. I was out there more than double that. I had no idea, how much up and down there was going to be, including plenty of hopping off the bike to push uphill. This was a Damn hard race that I was not at all prepared for. I was outclassed and humbled by most of the field. In spite of the difficulty it was a great & fun race. As always I need to train and compete more often.
