You were rolling out there. You went by me around mile 10, then you lost your bottle around the one turn and I passed you back. You made me feel better that you didn’t catch up and pass for about 10 miles. Unfortunately there was one guy around us (big tall guy) that was drafting and didn’t get caught. Did he hang on your wheel as well? He was on mine for a bit then jump to others. I thought you were one of them. I let him go and got him on the run. I ran by you as well, but was in such bad shape then I couldn’t even speak and say “nice job, keep moving”. Sorry I didn’t introduce myself afterwards as you were a class act every time we saw each other on the course. I was riding the Black Speed Concept with the White Kiwami Kona Wings too on the bike.
Oh hey! So glad you saw this! Do you mean the big guy in the all black kit? After I caught back up to the group your were in when I doubled back for that bottle and went off the front no one came with me, so no he never sat on me. I did go back and forth in a friendly and legal manner with a guy who either caught me or I caught him and he stayed with me at around mile 40 or so. He and I were always catching single refers and no one came with us. It was pretty spread out and all the riding I witnessed was clean. Great job running all of us down!
