race report: high climbs and misdemeanors

welp, it had to happen at some point.

i'm just glad it took me 12 years to get here - and that it is not the sad story i thought it'd turn out to be.  

like seriously, i don't need you to feel sorry for me - i'm just glad this is the culmination of one batshit-crazy racing history.  

[so far.]

race report: you are the manufacturer of your own misery

I didn't want to write this one, given how incredibly chaotic it was the six days leading up to the race, plus the race itself.
