Michgan Double Cross - Day 1

Day 1 has come and gone with much disappointment. I showed up too early, having misread the start times, and under nourished. The race started and right off the line I was dead last, struggling to stay in contact. The bike handling felt good, but when the coarse opened up I had no power. Guys kept going by on the road sections and I couldn't hold on. I was lapping around 7:25 - 7:35 vs 6:50 or so for the leaders. The consistency was O.K. I was just slow! I will rest and refuel for another day tomorrow. Not sure if I will do Masters 35+ or 'B'. There is a scheduling conflict. Either way I will fight again and see what happens.
