The star gazing last night was incredible and was only topped by a time my wife and I were out in Utah. I saw a few shooting stars! Impressive.

So the 4a part was actually fun
2nd lap hurt a ton. Headwinds and way faster pace.

Great turnout, a bit chaotic, a heated confrontation with a motorist, and an unfortunate spill that prompted a 911 call. Just glad I survived,
