| The course profile was not as I expected. Not flat in the least. Road racing after being dropped is not fun at all. Mountain bike racing is still fun if you get stuck alone. | |

| Tied for second on a hotly contested Strava segment tonight. 21.1 mph average over a 3 mile stretch or something...into a fierce headwind. Completely blew my load getting that, though. #1 is 23.4mph or something. Within reach for me on a calm day. | |
