Hickey was hurtin' - big time! It was likely a bad idea, but he did finish the race after bonking when the only point was to say "I didn't quit". I enjoyed the price he paid listening to the moans from the back seat on the way home until he fell into a deep sleep. After an hour or so I had my head jerked back from his screams - I thought his dog was eating his legs. Turns out a hamstring cramp woke him from his stupor. Once he straightened his knee he seemed pretty well-recovered and glib.
40+ road race treated Greg Andrews well with a fourth place finish. Picking the leeward side on the sprint may have put him higher on the money list. I was in the second group, a result of my bonehead tactics. We all had fun.
