• Comments: I'm going with average on this one for a couple reasons... this race used to be held on base but after Boston it was cancelled last year and had to move this year. So they had to find a new location, I get that. They did a nice job of having a police presence and closing a lane. But stupid Albuquerque drivers make being on busy streets like this unsafe. And having essentially half the bike course be one big hill, not really digging that either. I appreciate their attempt to relocate this race but I'm not sure I'd do this one again with this same course.

• Comments: New venue for Jay Benson which is the most popular race in New Mexico. Tough course but still a lot of fun. West Mesa Pool is great. Some great competition and somewhat of a pro field so I feel great about my placement, even though there is plenty of room for improvement.
