Still climbing in the ranks, #177 out of ~600 in the 40-49:ers, up from #223 last year.. Still got a bad start, two riders in front of me did not get their bikes started immediately, so I ended up coming to second corner 2 minutes after top riders, due to all the congestion. Then I had to do a pit stop on first lap to switch goggles, also lost a few minutes there.
It was overall nice conditions, not too muddy, execpt for the "Horse shoe" area. That was all a mess this year, with water almost reaching over front wheel, but you know that
