It was a Hot Metal day out there today. This was a great race put on by the Greensboro Police Club and many other sponsors. Nothing to exciting actually happened during this race for me which was a good thing. It was more about not blowing up and overheating in 4 hours. The temperature was around 80 and humid when the race started and by the end was 97 with a heat index of 103. There were a few people creeping and some standing on the side of the trail nursing cramps. One of the trails (Owls Roost aka Owls Roots) is a rough trail because of all the roots. I switched out my rigid fork for some front squish for this race and glad I did. It was a very dry and dusty course and by the end I was covered in dirt sweat. At the end of the day I ended up putting in 48 miles in 4 hours and placing 6th in the Single Speed Category.
