cascade cream puff. great race, trails, support, and weather. It was cool, cloudy, and socked in most of the day. rain from water condensing on the trees at the higher elevations. started off slow and was behind the front fast group on the 1st climb, then sucked it up down the descent. It was wet and slippery and between the mud and fog on my glasses and it was still pretty dark I couldn't see and got passed by many more. 2nd climb I felt better and at the top was back on the gas. Much better the 2nd time down the tire mtn trail until I ate it in a rock section. Caught up to rvg and ar soon after that. Solid 3rd climb and worked with 2 other riders on the rolling sections. Next was the alpine trail, dry on that side of the mtn and in great shape. 4th climb was hard, pretty worked at the top but made it down the descent.
