Well, that was different. No "C" cat tonight so a trial by fire bump to "B". Pace is higher which isn't a huge problem but going from 8 laps to 15 on such a hilly race really adds to the adjustment. Al and I were looking around for other TS'ers and he can give a roster along with results better than me. I just had my head down and grinding. A bunch of racers were pulling out here and there along with a few that just pulled off for a rest so keeping track of who was where was impossible from my seat. All I know is the leaders lapped me once and then as I was expecting to get the bell lap, I got lapped again on the uphill which was a bit disheartening and welcomed relief at the same time. Thanks to Al for looking for me and encouraging me with a wheel to follow when he could. Great workout - who knows what happened! Hahah
