Stationery bike at Thom's house to loosen up the legs a little (around 11 o'clock). Got to the course, cheered on Guppy she killed it. 1.5 mile warmup and some stretches. I was super nervous off and on throughout the day and at the gun. Got out in a good position with Connor and cruised. Felt great until around the last mile when Connor pulled away and I started to fatigue. Struggled to stay up there the last mile and managed to pass a couple people. Felt drained a lot earlier than I should have but wasn't a bad race. We took second behind Davis!! Super pumped about that and considering how hard and long we've trained, we deserve it. We had our ups and downs this season but we came through when it mattered. Now we've just gotta maintain to NXR and get the job done there.
