Started good, without a watch I knew I was little faster than used to, right after mile marker 2 walked a little and back running for the final .25 mile or so.

get a watch to pace and not have to walk at the end

Just got my helmet, drank some water and left

Maybe have an extra bottle of water so I wuld have more water left during the ride.

Just started when the rider in front of me dropped her water bottle, stoped and gave it to her, got back up to speed and maybe 1 or 2 miles later thare was a rider with a flat tire. Decided to stop and help him. Everybody passed us when we were changing his tire, I left him when all he had left to do was mount the tire back, around mile 8 I passed one rider and shortly after the guy I helped passed me, by mile 15 I had no water left and the sun was very hot, I passed two more riders and just kept my pace to the end.

My main goal is to finish so didn't bother me much wasting a lot of time helping the fellow rider with his tire. If would be 20 minutes faster without helping him, but with the end of the world just a few hours away I didn't want to waste a chance to go up and not down :-P

Drank some more water, watched the give away prizes and medals for the first places. The guy I helped came talk with us.


Nice race, it was a first time they had and it was well organized in my opinion. they had some fruits, water and energy drinks available, also door prizes from sponsors.
There was a kids race little later but my daughter didn't wast to go so I drove 1 hour back home
