Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted any more adventures of my racing or riding. I have been a little preoccupied with some minor health issues, and focused on getting that in order. The good new, I seem to have it under control. The better news, I am much leaner and trim than before. To date, went into this race 30 pounds lighter than last year. The results showed it too.
I lined up with the field and got a pretty good position. The course was very sandy, but it was fast as long as you paid attention to the course. I had one good crash due to a bad timing to grab my water bottle. I crashed hard.
After the dust settled, I finished this race in 13th place out of 42 rider. My time was 48 minutes and 31 seconds, or about 4 and a half minutes faster than last year. I was very happy to do that, and even better I was able to break the 50 minute mark for this course. All in all, I was very happy with the results considering the year I have had. Looks like I came out of my health problems for the better.
