Well the weekend didn't go super good. Got a terrible start, came from 15th to 8th in about 15-20 miles then ran there for a while and couldn't really get my pace up. The suspension was really bad and beating the crap outta me. At about mile 30ish the radiator broke and that was the end of that. It was worth a shot though!

"It was worth a shot though!"  You had nothing to lose...  For a shelp like me I may not have noticed the suspension was set up wrong..  but yes a broken rad would force the end of the day....
