Addison 6 hour

The 6 hours of Addison was my 214th bike race, if you're keeping track, and on the "race duration list" it ranked just 9th longest of all time.

Race was pretty fun and weather cooperated perfectly. I'll confess that I did start off the race with my low back bugging me. Bah! The back has been really good lately so this was a bit of an annoyance. Jan Mack set me up with a handful of ibuprofen to start lap 3 and maybe that stuff works as mid race the back was feeling better. At the end it was 82 miles in 6:14 for me. I was about 10 min back of the G-Man, 12 min behind the Clikeman, and about 16 min off the Dolppinator, the guys I might normally finish with. Guess that's confirmation that the fitness and low back still have a couple percentage points of improvement left to go. Tanguy? I guesstimate he finished his 12th lap about 45 min ahead of me... Wow!!
