Pre-race routine:

Just had some gu and waited for the start.

Event warmup:

The timed hill climb didn't start until about 20 miles into the ride. I decided to use my road bike with the compact gears as opposed to my TT bike.

Comments:

This is a demoralizing climb because it seems to go on forever. It starts at a 5-6% grade and gets progressively steeper topping out at around 8-9%. I PR'd by 10 minutes. Very happy with the results.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Fried Chicken and Coke.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The laws of physics.

Event comments:

I was sporting my Epix Gear "Graffiti" Kit and got lots of positive comments on it.
