Kenda DInO- Brown County

Last Sunday I raced the Kenda DInO Series Brown County race- a 17 mile romp through one of the Mid-West's most spectacular areas of single track. With 1600 ft of climbing. My Cat 2 wave started off kinda slow up a brutish mile long paved climb. Being much faster on the road, I gunned it as soon as I got a clear shot and took two juniors with me all the way to the trail head. After leading for about a mile, but riders pulled around me and kept on trucking. Luckily both where outside my age group. Two more racers past me on the first lap, but I managed to bring both back (one flatted and one cramped). After recovering for most of the first lap (note to self... do not gun it right away if you don't have to), I got back into a good rhythm and really flew on the second lap and final three mile descent to the finish line. Here are my stats for the race.

Just for kicks here is a photo from last weeks EI TT. This week I bettered my time by over a minute for the 5.1 mile course.
