Hotter 'n Hell 100

At 5:25 a.m. Alver and I showed up at Sean's house to pick both he and Dainon up before heading over to Wichita Falls where we were to meet all the others from Plano Cycling & Fitness for the Hotter'n Hell Hundred. We all met at 8:30 a.m. infront of the Wichita Falls Convention Center to set up the dog and pony show for the weekend long expo.
This year the HHH lived up to its name. The day of the ride, Saturday, had a scorching high of 108. It was so hot and there were so many ambulances being called out that the County of Wichita Falls called the ride short. So, if you didn't get to Hell's Gate by 10:30 (or somewhere around that time), you were rerouted straight back to Wichita Falls, making the ride around 75 miles. I ended up doing the Women's Cat1-3 RR instead of the ride. (Race Report to follow.)
I also want to say a huge "Thanks" to all of the great volunteers that came out to help PC&F at our booth this year.
