51 miles and 4,900 ft of climbing to the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon and back. The headwind coming down the canyon made the descent super sketchy so I had to ride the brakes more than usual. Looks like that headwind was also going up Provo Canyon which had to slow the times at UVM. There was also a bad headwind going back north on Wasatch Blvd which made it feel like I was stuck in mud. I much prefer hills than wind on the bike unless there are people to work with. Congrats to everyone who raced today! |
