About mile 50. I struggled with their pace on steep hills, and I was caught behind several crashes early on. I rolled between the first and 2nd group for 30 minutes to an hour and then I was picked up by group 2. There were several big names, and I needed up rolling most of the day with Jeremiah bishop, Thomas Dekker, and Logan Kasper, among others. I’m a big diesel this year, with the ability to roll long tempo, threshold, and high zone 2. That combined with aero bars meant I could roll really fast on the not steep sections on most of the course.
