I finished the race. I didn't do as well as I had hoped. As soon as the race started, I could feel that it was going to be a long day, and I should have trained harder and better. It was particularly difficult having to run your bike up "yellow page hill." It is named this cause it's got everyone's number, or something like that. Meaning that no one is able to ride their bike up it cause it's so steep! My calves were on fire after making it to the top, both laps! But I digress, I came in 11th. At least that wasn't dead last like I finished in my last race (thanks to my flat tire).
Enjoy the pics!
This is the graph of the elevation change for the race. Note the total elevation gain!
Here I am finishing my first lap. Notice Nicole in the background cheering!ok, so for whatever reason, it won't allow me to post the full size pictures here, lame! anyway, there was a total of 2724 feet of climbing for the race. Not too shabby for a day's work!
