EDIT:: Results edited and corrected.
Sunday the 16th was my third race. This was the Hell's Kitchen road race in Hogeye, Arkansas. I don't really have much to say about this race, nor do I have any pictures of the race. I am almost certain that I was the strongest CAT 5 in the field, however due to lack of experience and poor positioning on my part, I did not win the race. While I am a little disappointed I didn't finish as well as I had in my previous races, I still had a blast. The race was excellent, the weather was fair, and I had a great time. I tired myself out pulling the peloton and bridging gaps, and in the end it cost me. I did ;however, manage to catch the lead group three times, losing it each time on the hills. I have two weeks before my next race so I'll have plenty of training to better prepare myself next time. Currently, I can't say what place I finished since I'm labeled as DNF. I believe to have finished 10th, but on the official results 11th place is open. Eleventh sounds like a fair number to me.
Nate finished 3rd in the CAT 3 field. I'm really glad he's starting the season off on a good note.
I'll update this info as the news breaks.

I am getting ready to do this race in a month and it will be my first road race. I was just wondering about how long was the actual race in the cat 5 event. Not exact times unless you have them but more like a rough estimate.
Thanks
