Ride #1 - The Big Ring in Watopia

Cool Down - EXR | Just Row on Checkpoint Bled, Bled

Third Try at Dec CTC -  6x1:00/1:00r row

Warmup - 20:00 row

Had wanted to go under 9 hours and that would then had a chance for 1st or 2nd in AG.  Ended up 45 minutes behind winner and 16 minutes from the podium.  While I think I was in better shape then my time I was not in Gravel Shape - probbably could not have gone much faster as got bad inner thigh cramps and a hamstring cramp in last 10 miles as was hanging onto a group.  Was able to work through it but could not have gone faster. 
 Based on my moving time of 9:32 I then had 11 minutes of stopping for a nature break and 3 water stops - not too bad.  Need to figure out my nutrition as hard to keep track as hard to take in what I planned which is just the nature of gravel.  Post on the race to follow later once. get home.  But the weather was great and the course is tougher than it seems with the constant up and down to get 11,414ft of vert.
