Overall place was 22nd out of 106 men. 3rd out of 12 in AG!!!
Event was held at Deep Creek Lake in Maryland. Weather was a bit cool and foggy early but a beautiful day overall for a race. Lake temp was 68.9 which was just perfect for the wetsuit. The bike route was over a tough 40k route which included one Cat 4 climb, one Cat 1 climb, and a bunch of up’s and down’s. The run was tough. A 10k with lot’s of climbs, several gravel trails, one really long climb on a rutted gravel double track trail between miles 5 and 6.
Wanted to break 2:45 so I'm disappointed but for such a tough course, I was pleased that I was able to put together a solid effort...best overall effort to date.
Did I mention I was just coming off a sinus infection? Cost me a week training leading up to Savage Man plus I had to -- not for the squeamish -- constantly blow snot rockets. Didn't significantly impact my performance but yuck!!
