Dryer ride. Got in 45 min before the lightning and rain

Rest Day - went to the driving range and hit golf balls with Max

Rode to powder mills with hoffman. He had fun dropping me on the hills

I raced the Farmall Hill Challenge in the Cat 2 field. Jess did the expert women race. Both are 5 laps so Jess and I started in the same bunch. We had very different strategies at the start line. I chased the guy from RIT who went off like a madman to start in second place, and Jess settled in to the back of the pack. I passed the RIT guy on the first lap and he held on my wheel for about a lap before dropping off. I had a strong second and third lap, but my pace started to drop a little bit on the fourth. Paul, with his roadie watts on the grass flat sections, passed me to take first place, and on the last lap the ommegang rider who had been creeping closer and closer to my back wheel for the whole race passed me on the second to last hill. So I finished in 3rd place. Jess spent the whole race passing the guys who started in front of her (lapping more than a few) and finished less than a minute behind me in fourth (1st woman).
