Comments: Very light rider turnout, ruined my plan to just sit back in the pack and suck on other riders wheels on the windy Otay Lakes stretch. Used up a good amount of energy before I got to Honey Springs. Only 5 in our pack, which I believe was the 2nd lead pack, until one of our got a flat. What would you do differently?: Try and get more rest the night prior to the ride. Post race
Warm down: Had 3 street-style tacos and a nice cold non-alcoholic drink. Walked around the post-ride fair. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of sleep the night before due to work and the heat on the Honey Springs climb. Event comments: Due to the lack of riders, the ride didn't seem that exciting...felt like my normal weekend ride with the buddies. The route as we headed west into the residential areas (after getting off the SBX) was a bit confusing...and I hate left turns! Honey Springs is Honey Springs...you either make it the top or you don't...and I did, despite lack of sleep and 90+ degree temps. Not much fanfare at the finishline, luckily my family was there to cheer for me as I finished. Last updated: 2011-04-16 12:00 AM

Worked the night shift, got home and took a quick 45 min nap, packed up the bike and all the gear and headed out to the start at Otay Ranch Town Center.
Did a little warmup around the parking lot, but didn't hear them announce the ride was starting. Started a couple of mins behind...no problem.
