Pre-race routine:

Check-in bike and have some snacks in the car. Pump up tires, fill gatorade bottle, listen to some tunes. Quite a wait for my turn to ride.

Event warmup:

Just up and down the parking lot. I wish I had a trainer!

Comments:

The slippery downhills at the beginning were precarious and then the uphill battles seemed to come again and again. I felt like I pushed myself hard the whole time.

What would you do differently?:

I could have worn better gear or lightened my load. I don't think I could have worked harder, and I had a lot of fun with my team in this race!

Event comments:

The r2r was a great race to do with friends. We have some really funny stories, especially with the portage at the end. I'll definitely be doing it again!
