The weather turned out great this morning, and we had a great race at Shell Lake. I decided to pace Jordan, who is 11, and I was amazed the speed he was able to maintain. We averaged 20.7mph for 28.5miles. That's faster than his best speed at Black Dog which is 1/4th the distance. I kept thinking there is no way he is going to be able to maintain this pace, but even in the hills, he fought through the pain, and did great. He finished 2nd in the 13&under boys.

Just after the start we settled into a steady pace with a couple other riders. Over the course of the race, we kept catching others, and our group kept growing. By the time we reached the climbs, there must have been about 20 of us. We all suffered through the climbs, and less than 10 were left in the end. Everyone kept giving encouragement to Jordan, which was great. I've never seen a WISPORT race from that perspective, and I have to say, it was a lot of fun.
Pete H. won (big surprise), Donimator and company gave him an awesome leadout and left the field reeling in their wake. Looking forward to Cameron tomorrow.
