Mission Falls

Annual sub-5 mile (4:56)

Late luncher

SB half - ehhh, not terrible but not great

6:44 and change. I was flying for about three hours and then gradually lost time the rest of the ride, but I somehow had a huge buffer. 57ish to Miranda Pines, same as Matt, so I somehow grabbed a crapload of time in the two hours after. In retrospect, should’ve chilled a bit on the flat parts. I didn’t ever detonate, but I was on the edge from mile 40 to the top of Big Pine. Descent was okay, couldn’t push it on the climbs after Bluff so I gave back six minutes from Big Pine to the end. I’m not in ideal 7-hour shape, but I’m pretty happy with how I managed it. Weather was good, light wind until little Pine, then a bit of head wind but it didn’t really matter anymore
