i felt really good before the race, i was super excited to race this course again. i started out with faster than i usually go, but dioing it brought me up to ten feet behind nick. during the first lap of the race, i struggled trying to catch my breath, probably because of the altitude. both up and down the hills i let nick pull me and keep me from settling, at the start of the second lap i caught nick and passed him till halfway through the second lap when both paul and nick caought and passed me. my shoe came untied at the same time making it harder to go up the hills.  throughout the entire race i kept on thinking dare to go hard, don't hold back at all, nick did that super good.  i am bummed because i let myself hold back the last 400 meters and let nick and the other guy in front of me get away, i will have to do better at it next time.
