Brief Day 1

Jon placed high, about 20th (6:18 time). Trish was 4th overall in the womens (8:24 time). Jack, Jerry and Tori were all smiling at the finish - I think Jack about 9:20ish/Jerry 9:50ish range, Tori was 11:40. The finish line quote from Tori was that it was really hard.
 
Course was fast relative to prior years, suffer factor was lower in some ways.
 
I took 7:24, could have been about 15 min faster had a singlespeeder dude not convinced me to "go exploring" with him. Once I saw the turn we were on had no bike tire marks on the dirt, I argued we should turn back. Did get close to a bonk for a while, but not even a twinge of a cramp all day.
 
Nice weather, good food and organization, bike worked great. Fun times!
