Another good day of racing down in Trinidad. The same group (LifeTime) that put on SBT GRVL put on this race near the border with New Mexico.
I got up really early and drove down the morning of the race, since it was a later start. The race went well up until the point when I caught a thorn in my tire which caused me to slowly leak air. Fortunately I noticed it right before an aid station, but I had to stop to repair the flat and lost 5 minutes as a result. At the time I was sitting second/third, but got passed by several others over those 5 minutes. I was able to catch up to all but one, and finished 4th overall but 1st in my age group. It probably only cost me one overall place!
