I did the Draper race today. It was mostly for training since I really can't compete yet at the sport level. They significantly changed the course because of all the recent rain. We ended up doing 3 laps. It took me 1:59 to do the 20.45 miles. There was a total of 2377 elevation climb across all 3 laps. I think I may have come in last in sport 35-39.
The course was still fun despite the changes. I really didn't feel like I was in peak condition to race today. I am still sick and have not been getting enough sleep lately. I hope to do better this week and have a stronger performance at the Sundance race on Saturday.
It is a little frustrating to have been training so much over the winter and still do poorly in the races, but I will just use it to train harder and keep improving.
Update: I didn't come in last. I was 13 of 18.

Dude - huge props for putting a big training ride in. Nothing to worry about after these hard weekends you're putting yourself through. Come some of the bigger races later in the year, you'll find all that training coming to fruition.
