Comments: I really liked this course,, well marked, plenty of stuff at the aid stops, and lots of fun.. then again the weather was prefect overcast and cool,, if it was 10 degrees warmer I might have a different opinion. some parts of road were rough, but they were marked well, a couple of hills in the beginning but after that not really.. I was expecting a lot hillier course to be truthful. the only downside was there seemed to be many hard turns either left or right.. they were well marked that a turn was coming,, but I was always extra cautious of a car coming around the corning cutting the lane since it was usually on a small two lane road where the blind corners were I only took one bottle of infinate (300 calories) and a cliff bar that I wasn't planning on using. the aid stations were well stocked. :) What would you do differently?: push harder... I think I finally learned to pedal today... I've always been a masher, and I've been contentrating on the pedel stroke being more horizontal.. from 9-3 and that works much better. Up to the first stop I was right under a 15 avg. by the end I was 16+ and not that tired Post race
Warm down: they had a grill manned by red robin so I had a huge cheeseburger, and they evening had dt dew at the finish.. after eating those I took a couple of waters and headed home Event comments: I'd definitely recommend this rally Last updated: 2009-05-10 12:00 AM
