pics from shenandoah - part 2 of 2



line up for the start of the race - this was about 6:30am



chris scott at this point is shouting out instructions to us at this point. one good thing he premotes is no trash on the trail - this is easily accomplished through one of the race sponsors Hammer Gel who supplies both flasks and Gel to all the riders. Sweet.



the gun goes off for the start of the race and 400 racers shoot for a jeep trail - i end up about 30 riders back in all the confusion.



rouding the last corner at around 8 1/2 hours'ish. overall, felt pretty good during the day and felt like my climbing legs finally have come back to me as i have lost a little weight in the last few weeks.



just about to cross the finish line. showers, a hot meal and some cold brews were awaiting me.
