up at 3am Mt Evans Ascent for Maggie.

Event: Bailey Hundo
 

not the best sleep the night before the race.

Bailey Hundo.... not a lot to say about this one other that it went according to plan with not a lot of drama.

started with the front group and in the first, hilly 7 miles 3 of us were off the front with a good gap. the other two dudes were pros and I was trying to use them to get a gap. they were going pretty damn hard. they dropped me when we hight the colorado trail. I had never ridden that section before so was a bit tentative on the descent.

I just went into steady mode and made sure to eat and drink plenty. I was keeping the hammer down but not in chase mode. I wanted to ride with the pro dudes for as long as possible but not chase them and risk not being the top non pro.

I saw maggie at 28, 48, 68, and 73 miles to get more bottles and food. the story of the day is that i just rode steady. i had zero low points and legs were always solid.

finished 3rd overall, 1st non pro, and 1st in 30-39 by a good gap. getting the big gap off the start and working harder than i wanted to paid off. Once i was out of sight i was probably hard to chase down.
