Simply getting my gear set up was warm-up. Didn't get to race morning until 7am. Forgot a few things at the car and had to run around a little manic-ly only to stand around waiting for my race to start.

Nice race! 

In this case it was best not to arrive early. They were the one's that got stuck in the mud!!

Good job on a tough course and in tough conditions.

I did this race last year as my first Oly, and had a "good" race despite the poor roads and race organization.
