Well, I'm taking my bike to the LBS today to have new tires put on--which I needed before this race anyways. The cabling is shot. It needs to be completely redone. I need new brake pads--possibly new rotors. New chain and chain rings. It's a disaster. Essentially its going to be overhauled. Which is great because I just paid of the CC--time to rack up the debt again! (sigh).
Here are a couple of more pictures. You can tell the first one was taken right after the start--I don't have any mud on my face!
