Tech Guide
Location: Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary - Cochrane
Course: stravalink

My first race in Sport Men had 30 people signed up (and I got call-up number 25). Ahead of the race I waffled on driving down the night before but decided to just do a big driving day on Saturday instead of sleeping in my car. It worked out fine!

The biggest challenge of the race. ¹

The seminary in Cochrane where we race is super bumpy but not very technical. There are some ups and downs and barriers, but no run-ups, no sand. The biggest challenge is a long draggy climb. I started off the race at the very back of the pack, but made some passes coming up that long climb in the first lap. Later on I passed a couple more riders when they dropped chains or had other mechanicals.²

All in all, I had a good race. My lap times were all within 9 seconds of each other so I spent my 40 minutes at threshold heart rate without exploding. I also didn’t break a wheel in any of the many gopher holes. Tire check: Clement PDX Crusades ~45psi (probably too firm)
