I got shelled at the bell. The heat finally got to me and I had cotton
mouth. My water bottle H2O was boiling hot and with one lap to go I
could not hang anymore and finished at the back.

My Spinergy wheels took a beating but for a rocky course like the Giro
SF they are perfect. Hey -- I had fun though!

That race is always among the hardest of the season, and this year's
course change made it just a bit harder. Average (pedalling) power
numbers are nearly 10% higher than most other races.

Damn. I went off with Dan Martin from Webcor and rode the Conselman Road loop (Marin Headlands)
during the 35+ and 45+ races. I got back just as the stragglers on the kids race
were getting in. So I missed it....

I watched the end of the 35+ 4/5, all of the Juniors, E4, E3, and W123. Then I rode up
Greenwich from Battery to Montgomery. Now that would have been a course to
remember! At least for the "sprint" finish, take it up the block! :)
