better course, better legs and a bit better result. 9th place today. the snow forecasted never materialized, just some wind and cold temps. prob in the upper 30s race time, but it was comfortable nonetheless. I decided to back off a notch at the start today, and found myself with a good pace and some energy left in the tank late in the race. Good to be racing with these guys. Most of them are pretty classy, and fast with tons of experience. I will DEFINITELY get a top 5 this season.
