Did the whole course today and felt pretty good doing so. Also, it was my first ride in shorts this year. It felt great!

I did the same recon last year and it took me 20 minutes longer – does this mean that I can expect to finish the race 20 minutes quicker this year?

I think not.

The goal is still: Top 50 / Sub 2:30:00

The confidence level is low-moderate

The realistic finish time is 2:33:30 – Which I suppose would do… which would be 6 minutes quicker than last year.
