Hardwood Hills Fiasco

Ok well its kinda like this, Hardwood hills was both good and bad. But not really bad bad just more of a this is a not ideal situation.
To start things off I was feeling super good and lookign forward to the race! I went back to my brothers place and had a good sleep the night before after pre-riding the course and the next morning woke up ready to race and feelign great. The drive to Hardwood is where it all began.
Just before Barrie on the 400 we get into some heavy traffic and we're thinking (my brother was driving and his wife was with us) this doesn't look good but hey its probably just cottage traffic and we'll be allright! Well it turns out there was a major accident on the highway ahead of us and were stuck behind as the highway was closed for 6hrs. So we do the de-tour which take san extra hour of driving and end up at Hardwood hills 10min late for the start of the Elite race...I found a commissaire and explained what happened and asked if I could race anyways and he said "you better get going" I didn't need to be told a second time I was outta there!
I pinned it for the first three laps (even had a bee sting on the first lap) and then on the fourth lap I finally caught 2 guys who dropped out after that. I went around for the fifth lap but still finished dead last in 50th position. Either way I finished the race and although my result wasn't great and I blew up in the fifth lap I still got in a good intensity workout. Oh and I learnt that its always best to sleep as close as possible to the race course as possible...
