Run 53:00 ap 9:17
First bike race in the books. Got up at six, ate and left for the race. Got there about an hour early, got the bike ready and warmed up/used the facilities/warmed up/used the facilities. Ate a banana and took a caffine gel about 10 minutes before the start. The caffeine made me a but jittery I think while waiting but it was helpful during. Race started at 8. I was nervous about starting in a pack of bikes cause I've never done it before but it was fine. At the start of the first real climb I was passed by a women that looked to be late 50's early 60's. She was a beast! The rest of the race went well. A few guys past me but I passed most of them back and passed a final guy at the sprint to the finish. Passed 2 girls toward the end. There was only 17 citizen women(about 105 men) total so it was pretty small but fun and I feel good about my effort. Last best time on this was 1:16:??. I learned a lot. Including there are several different ways to put your number on in a bike race so you need to make sure you know what way is being used :0) Good times. Rode back down the canyon to the start and changed for my run. Rolling, decent sized hills but felt good. Came home, ate and went to the gym for a swim. Felt strong. Big race next week :0)
