Just finished this race Saturday night. Had never done it before, but every person I talked to had the same thing to say: “It’s crazy hard!”. They were right. But for me, I was barely holding on the whole race.

To my handlebars, that is. My gloves and bars were so soaked with sweat that my hands were in danger of losing their grip with every bump. And there were lots of bumps. I’ve never before struggled that much just to hold onto my handlebars in a race. It was kind of unreal.

Anyways I finished in 31st, one place out of the money. Grrr
