Pre-race routine:

Since the ride was not until 11 I was able to sleep in a little. (8AM) Drove out to the course, picked up my packet and went to meet Mark who I was going to ride with. Also saw Michael while coming back from packet pickup.
Event warmup:

None
Bike

Comments:

Around mile 10, Mark crashed pretty hard. About 3 ambulances and several police cars came to help. I'm still a little unsure of what happened but he crashed right next to me. What I do know is that he has alot of road rash, a cracked helmet and a sore head and back. We'll see tomorrow how he's doing. After he was picked up I went on to finish the ride.

Time does not include waiting with Mark for the ambulance.
What would you do differently?:

Not have my buddy crash.
Post race
Warm down:

Changed my clothes, went to the beer tent only to decide I did not want any beer. I gave my beer tickets away and headed home. I was ready for food and sleep.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind

Event comments:

In getting ready for Buffalo Sprigs Lake this is just what I needed.

Thanks,  He's "ok" or at least as ok as you can be after crashing at speed.
