Big Ring Classic Wausau 2010...

By Nick Christofalos,

Race day was hot and way dusty. No call up put mid pack at the start...the first mile and a half was a complete dust bowl trying to pass wasn't easy. The hill's were grueling and long. The rock gardens were hard if you had traffic...Super long straights... I had some good battles on and off with different packs of riders and went down once cause of someone getting caught up in a rock garden...My endurance was strong on the climbs... My favorite part of the race was toward the end when I got lapped by the pro's with only the last section of dusty corners in the woods and two long ass straights... I felt their momentum as they pulled me all the way to the first straight then started to pull way quickly for their awesome finish and mine to of course. Even if this was most difficult ride so far this year it was worth every bit of pain. T6 everywhere!

COMP 64 overall... Age group 6th place...

Time 2:00:41.9 back 15:45. Twin Six/Higher Gear
