We had at least 12 at the start. I went off the front and by the top of the pavement I had quite a gap, I wasn't going really hard, just pushing a bit. BP caught and passed me a mile or so in and I stayed with him for a bit. We had a gap on, I think Kevin, BK and Sam. We started catching the 19-29 and 30-39 groups halfway in the 1st lap. Towards the end of lap 1, I got around BP again and he and I went back and forth for a bit till the lap zone. Lap 2 went on with BP growing his gap and me picking off more other cat riders, I also dropped my Gel flask. Lap 3 started wih Kevin closing on me, about halfway through he passed me and i could not stay with him. I ended in 3rd about 25 seconds behind Kevin and a bit over 2 minutes behind BP.
The course started muddy and by lap 2 was firming up for some fast fun descents. I was happily surprised with my results and I rode very consistent lap times (could be related to improving course conditions, but the HR average was good at 174)
Lap 1 - 31:42
Lap 2 - 32:05
Lap 3 - 32:03

Way to go, Bob! Those 5 extra Hawaii pounds ain't slowin' you down a bit. Maybe you should have another cookie.
I gotta get me one of those plaid skinsuits. Nice race today, you were on fire!
I'm booking a flight to Hawaii. Seems a little R&R makes you faster. Nice race.
'twas fun out there. Lots of action on that course. But I like when you guys start 2 minutes down on us. It takes loner for you to pass me.
