Well, this confirmed what I suspected, i.e., my legs aren't in shape for two days of racing. Felt like I was putting in the effort, but couldn't keep up much of a pace. And only once, for a brief moment, did my HR even get as high as 90%. Mostly I was struggling to keep it above 85%. With one exception route choice was ok, but my brain kept wanting to go AWOL, so execution could have been cleaner. The one dopey route choice was where I misread a nasty pricker symbol on the map for the kinder, gentler undergrowth symbol, and so spent some time with Brer Rabbit in the briar patch. But otherwise ok, and the course was fun.
