You were worried about throwing up on the first lap?? uke:

Go out hard, finish hard.

Makes sense I guess...

How many laps was it?

Just 2 for the Cat 3's. 5.5 miles per lap.

Maybe not for you, but to me that sounds like a decent length race for that level. How long is the Cat 1 race?

I would like to try one of these races someday. Unfortunately I'll be out of town for the next race (which is practically right up the road from me)

Cat 1 was 4 laps, open/pro was 5. Cat 2 was 3 laps, and yeah, 11 miles is decent distance for me, esp. if since it's racing the whole time. Just out for a weekend ride it's not too long.

I've yet to do a 11 mile ride yet this season, I don't think I could if I wanted to. Had a few last year, most of them were on fairly easy terrain though. If I go much longer than that at Nass I'll be dying, and that's with stopping, NOT racing the whole time. I think I have some conditioning to do. I want to start working some longer rides in this year...

Even if you look out of it, Marc, that's pretty cool! Nice job!
