Racing went about as well as expected. Took my position at the back of the group for the trip up the hill. Once on top in the flat sections though I let the 29er roll. Picked up a couple of spots. Rocked the single track. Then the inevitable climb again. Wasn't feelin' those at all. Just rode my own tempo up all the climbs. Losing minutes each time. Top of the start climb on the 4th lap the lights went out though. Quit literally, when things start to go a little black around the edges in your vision you should be aware that you're about to start going very slowly. Not a full on BONK but definitely out of gas. Had to let the guys go that I was riding with and hope I could keep anyone from catching me.
I think the bug to get into shape might come back after I recover from this. It was really good to race again.
