My first Mens Open race was Saturday at Swope Park and it was a hot one. The 2pm start made for some warm temperatures. I barely made the start time and the 12 elite riders took off. We started on the uphill road and I went into the twisty part of the course 3rd from last. I started picking people off one by one. When I caught up to 4th place 1st was long gone and second was about 20 seconds ahead. I eventually passed the 4th place guy and settled in for 3rd place. Not a bad way to start off the cross season, it was hot and I should have had a full water bottle. I'm getting married this Saturday and will be gone on our honeymoon til Oct. 3rd. I'm gonna lose so much fitness.
