Went into this one not really sure what to expect. Poor night of sleep with Pat in the TT van because I abuse caffeine.
Loaded up the pack with heavily concentrated Skratch, BeFree filter bottle, and all sorts of sugary goods.
Started around 6:00am and caught the sunrise over Hawk's Ridge. Found the jump where I ate shit on the bike and strained my hamstring...(Note..rode the DT in 5:34 in 2020)
Legs were feeling light going through Hartley so I decided to give it a go. Had to stop a few times for traffic at major road crossings. Ran into several Duluth Hipsters on their bikes. Made it to Spirit Mtn feeling good and just had to survive the DWP. Once I hit Mission Creek, I let it rip on the final descent. Best part was hooting and hollering to the crowd of 1(myself) at the finish line.
Fall count-1
Perfect day in Duluth.
