The day dawned clear and warm. the warm up was tough but by the start at 8:45 the temperature was up. The roll out started fast and up the track. I lead the pack into the dirt and wet through the first rollers very quickly. the first section of single track allow some one slow to jump in on the single track. The time it took to pass allow the lead group to gap the field.
From that point the chase was on. As the temperature increased the leaders held their gap and it was time to get in a rhythm and slug through the sand descents until the final climb.
On the climb the 2-6th was strung out in sight. The hill caused the fight to continue and places were being swapped back and forth. It was an epic battle that with some changes had been set up at the start.
The race was a good opener for me. The heat being 85 by race end I believe was one of the big factors in the race. It will get me ready for Xterra in Vegas on May Second
