Thanks, folks.
Yeah, he's tough. I beat him earlier in the year at Watchusset, but wasn't sure over the longer distance. We rode together most of the way, but he gapped me on a long dirt section a couple of miles from the top and I just couldn't come back to him. I ended up just riding conservatively from there, not considering there were other start waves. So I lost about 60-90 seconds and a couple places overall. But I was mainly focused on the age group thing.
