The PCP2P went off perfect today. A little bit of wind and rain to start things off made for sweet conditions all over. It took me about an hour and a half to actually wake up and start racing and then I crashed. No worries though. I bounced up like a rubber ball and kept on keeping on. After seven hours and twenty minutes, I finished the day off in fourth place, just behind Alex Grant, Bart Gillespie and Chris Holley. Firth rounded up the podium with a fifth place. Utah boys represent.A HUGE shout out to Jay Burke, Shannon Boffeli, and their entire swat team of supporters who made it all happen. Also a big shout out for the entire camelbak of Carb Rocket that fueled my fire for the first half of the race. It's beautiful when you can throw in a drink mix for the first time and know it's going to be solid. Thanks BK. Primetime for handing out cash in the feedzones. An of course an even BIGGER shout out to SDAY and FDAY (my dad) for dedicating another full Saturday to watch me for a few seconds at a time over seven hours. I couldn't do this without you.
PC TV was there shooting some footage and photographers around every corner. I'm sure I'll post some more updates as the media comes in.
Big congrats. And we need to plan another mtb ride with the Higleys once the leaves start changing...
Great race - way to contribute to local domination.
A KDAY water bottle showed up in my drop bag at the first aid station. I'm sure you have bottles coming out of your ears, but one of these days I'll get it back to you.
Good finish Kevin. Jeff told me it was a pretty hard race. I hope they do the race again next year so I can battle it out for lanterne rouge status.
