No. The first time up I was 3rd wheel and it was the best spot. The 2nd time up the hill I was way back in the field and couldn't close gaps or do anything... It hurts when 30 racers or so are in the gutter going harder then climbing up the hill.

My half a lap little stint off the front earlier didn't help... haha

It all come down to smarts, and I aint got much, yet.

How did you do?

I'm not exactly sure where I ended up. I thought I was doing good, staying with the lead pack. Then I learned that there were some riders that had broken away really early. I took a bunch of pulls at the front, and then we turned to the north, it sped up, my legs just gave up, and I got dropped. I was not happy with my stupid riding either.
