GMCX Day 1 or 'holy sh*t...

that race was brutal.'

i didn't think they could make more climbing per lap than previous years...  but they did.  they did.

too tired to write much... when Frank McCormack came flying past on the 3rd lap he bridged to the group of Jerry, Gary and Wade and suddenly Wade turned it on and those guys weren't one turn ahead anymore.

It hurt.  The results though. 41/48 finishers with 50 starters isn't much of an improvement but, i was only 6:33 down and the laps were LOOOOONG.

Last year I was the last guy on the lead lap in 46th, today i finished 41st.  A few more people today and while it looks like the leaders finished in nearly the same time as last year I was way way faster.  And I swear there was more climbing, like 2x more climbing.  Even the winner thought it was way harder and more climbing.  It was brutal.

Legs are cooked, it was ridiculously hard.  Live results are super cool. Pretty kick ass that those with a smart phone (team mates) were checking results from the parking lot after a cool down ride.

props colin and JD.

time to be less anti-social.
