I drove up with my dad. We missed the first warmup group because I had to wait 15 minutes to use the bathroom. On the warmup, I did some sprints up and down the road. I ended up near the back of staging with Truman. The first few miles were slow. I rode with Truman for the first lap, staying in the front of the back half of the field. Once the second lap started, I was barely sweating and I still had most of my water. I decided to go fast for the second lap. I got ahead of the back half but was still behind the front half because they started so far ahead. I felt great during the second lap. I had the course almost to myself because there were few people between the two groups. I finished by myself. Good way to start the season!
