The race started out chill and within 100m, I knew it was going to be Brady vs me. I wanted to be patient and not do any work because I was in it strictly for the win. I didnt care what my time was. The second mile was super chill and Brady freaked out when he saw our mile split...then he picked up the pace. He started to fall back around mile 3 but caught back up. I put 50m on him by the time we hit North Crossing. I didnt see him again. I threw in a surge just to make sure we didnt come back. The wind was a bitch on the way back but by that time it didnt matter. I was talking to the lead bike for most of the race, it helped the race go by quicker, otherwise it was like a training run with spectators. My low back started to tighten up around 7 miles in. With about 2k to go, I had to cross Menomonie Street, there was a police officer there to stop traffic, but didnt see me and the lead bike coming. I had to wait 5 sec for some passing cars, i thought that was pretty hilarious. This race happened almost exactly like I had planned it. I thought i could run around 75 min, but it felt much easier than I had anticipated.
