Now that was a RACE!!! What a great day of suffering at the socal_endurance 6 and 12 hour race in Vail Lake. Very fortunate to finish 8th out of 34 against an elite field in the Masters Men 50+ class. My first 3 hours were great, then the dreaded C’s (cramps/crashes) entered the picture.. The crashes were minimal but the cramps took me off the bike to try and stretch them out during race, that’s why I’m fortunate to finish 8th.. HUMUNGOUS thank you to Omar and the redzoneracing1 team for the tent ❤️, support and food.. Thanks Mama Bear lauralaskowski for making sure all the water bottle transitions were on point.. And for all the fans, families and workers who lined the course, THANK YOU for your encouraging words not only to myself, but all the amazing riders, I HEARD EVERYTHING.. #BoomGoesTheDynamite #CrampsCrashesSmiles
