Belgian Waffle Ride Utah was a special race for me. Living just 2.5 hours away in the Salt Lake Valley, I consider this my home. I've done this race 3 out of the last 4 years finishing 9th, 9th, and 4th. Despite the "Tripel" Crown bringing increased competition to this years race, I decided to keep my goal of finishing inside the top 10. I had to fight HARD at the end to make it happen, but I was able to muscle it out with 6th place.
I sure hope you guys enjoy watching this one!
