Antelope Island Road Race

Signed up for my first official road race. The 45 mile Antelope Island Classic. The weather is awful. It's raining with the temps in the upper 40's. I don't have any rain gear. I'm drenched before the race even begins.

I've never ridden in weather so bad. Between the rain and the water coming off the wheels from the bikes in front of me I needed a snorkel.

I read somewhere that the best recovery drink is a milkshake. I'm sure they didn't mean while you have a case of hypothermia. I'm stupid I stopped at Ronald's place and got a large shake and continued to shiver for the next 2 hours.

Result: Should have been 19th but some wingnut caught me at the line.

15th/25 racers

Notes: BUY RAIN GEAR
