Lap 2.
This is a nice perspective of the first part of the hill (before the false flat) that really, really began to hurt.
Cresting the first part of the hill.
Racing.
So this is the back part of the course where there was a decent sized descent and some fun turns.
One of the turns.
Back half of the course, lap five or so. Popped.
So forelorn and all alone.
Keep it between the cones...
Heading into another turn...
...and then trying to chase down that guy.
Chase, man. Chase!
