Since Ptown unfortunately lost a landowner, the trail is super short. I believe my GPS showed it to be ~3.7miles total. That meant a lot of laps and tough lap traffic.
Lap traffic got out of the way pretty well ... for the most part. To defend some, however, it's gotta be annoying having to move over every few minutes to let someone around. That really messes up your flow.
For the first race of the year, riding was decent. Unfortunately, I lost my rear brake after 1.5hrs of riding. I was able to pump it up each time and get some back, but it put me on the ground once rather hard when I wasn't expecting it. I think, in the end, it only cost me ~10 to 15 seconds a lap as I had to test the brakes before most corners. Then on the 2nd to last lap I ran out of gas! I was planning on filling up on the last lap or at least checking, but I didn't even make it that far! someone off on the mapping so I'll need to figure that out. Fortunately, my brother was right there and the gas jug was not far off. He sprinted back to grab it and I only lost a minute or two.
Even with these setbacks I ended up 3rd, but a good way behind 1st and 2nd. If I were to remove the issues, I would have still been 2 to 3min behind them. Will be fun trying to close that gap this year!
