Loved the course, very tough but very happy I did it. I didn't stay over,left my house at 6 and got home at 8:30 pm, long day. If I forget how much pain I was in from leg cramps I will do it again next year : )
Meant to post this sooner but I wanted to thank everyone for their input. I ended up with two bottle in their cages and one in my center jersey pocket, never noticed it was there, worked out perfectly.
I am doing the TotB, this will be first road race. I see there are a few feed zones, do we refill our own bottles there or is this where people hand us new bottles as we ride by? What if we have no one to hand us a bottle? Any help is appreciated.
I always let someone pass, if they are good enough to catch up to me then they deserve to be in front of me, at the same time if it is unsafe I'll say so, no reason for two people to crash.
