Since I normally think I am a lot faster than in actuality, I went down on Saturday and threw my hat in with the big boys (Cat 1/2/3) and proceeded to get destroyed. Man those guys are fast....
The course had plenty of climbing and what gave me the most fits were the off camber turns all in dry dirt that was basically powder.
Granted, I did not have high expectations of my performance being so early in the season for me, but man... When your in a 50 min race and your in survival mode come 20 min into it, its going to be a long one. I remember looking at my Garmin at one time seeing that we were only half way, I knew I needed to get into dumb animal mode (just pedal, don't think) and get it done.
Finally got lapped by the winner and YamsForLife on my second to last lap. Rolled in for a midfield 11th.
