Comments:

4 packs of Hammer Perpetuem in about 40 oz of water kept me from cramping. However, I came in 11th out of 12 in my age group. Sport class is an eye-opener for sure.
What would you do differently?:

Wish I could have raced faster, but I did the best I could.
Post race
Warm down:

Banana, whey protein, then a free hot dog and Hammer Heed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hmmmm, since I got so involved in triathlon, my mtb skills have gone downhill. Oh well, tri much more fun.
