Comments:

CAT 1 is hard enough, but having to ride down an age group make it all the more difficult. Since these are not USA cycling sanctioned, I have to ride my actual age instead end-of-year age.

I'm struggling here, but I still think it is the right decision. My splits continue to beat the sport (CAT 2) riders and I'm finishing mid pack. Its just discouraging at times... I felt that I rode a really good race tonight.

For comparison, the overall winner for CAT 1 was at 1:17:53 and the 30-39 CAT 1 winner was at 1:18:35.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I'm riding as hard as I can for these races. I'm basically riding at or over my lactate threshold for the entire race.
Post race
Warm down:

Light cycle around the parking lot. I consumed another 24 ounces of HEED.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ability.

Event comments:
