Placement: 6/13
YTD Standings: NA
33 miles. 90 degrees. Oh boy. I was alone at this race, but I did set up a cooler where I could refresh my water and pick up supplies. Only issue was that I set it up on the downhill part so I lost momentum. Not smart.
This trail is by far the hardest trail I've ever ridden. There just wasn't room to recover anywhere. The third lap was a killer. Horrible leg cramps, that easily added 5 to 7 minutes to my times. I had to literally get off my bike and stretch. Obviously I made a serious nutritional mistake. I really need to figure this out.
Anyway's, I finished in 3 hours 51 minutes. That put me in 6th place out of 13. Not too good. However, all the racers below me were DNF's. So I was the last racer to finish in my class. I can understand the temptation to quit. It was pretty brutal out there.
