Signed up for this race when I thought I was going to do the Gold Nugget Triathlon, which I had to bail on due to traveling for Science Olympiad. This race was literally the first time on my bike in years as evident by last years moving sticker still being attached to my frame. I arrived early and got a little volunteer time in first at the sales shack and then at the finish line calling numbers. The ladies I started with did a good job of calming my nerves but my lack of cycling experience was evident when I almost crashed just as I approached the main road. The course is mainly downhill on the way out and then all uphill on the way back. I had to walk my bike through a couple of stretches where I just wasn't able to maintain foreword momentum. Cycling is something that I vow to improve upon but I still remain quite clueless. Here's to hoping to do some cycling in the future some place flat and level for starters please.
