Week #28 - 566 miles
Went to Warsaw, Missouri this weekend to do The Epic 150 (actually 143 miles). I got there on Friday and rode the short course which was around 45 miles. It turned out that it was a very good idea to preview the part of the race course. Saturday started out with some light rain as we began racing. There was a group of about 10 guys that formed around 10 miles in. Somewhere around 20ish miles my Garmin went blank. I tried to restart it but nothing was working. A few miles later, the screen fell off. My plan then was to try to hang with folks as long as I could and hopefully made it in to the finish. Luckily I was with people until around mile 115. The other good thing was I had been on the finishing part of the course so I knew most of the turns. I had to watch tire tracks and had to ask a couple of the folks from the 90 miler I was catching where the next turn was. I ended up getting 5th overall and won the masters. Not bad since I have logged 1,072 miles for the last two weeks. I have one more big training ride at the end of the month and then The Long Voyage!
