La paz race report

The race started at 5pm very hot and the whole town out came out to watch us. I had a good start and I swam right behinde the leaders coming out of the water in 4th. We had a break and it seem like we where going to stay away. Suddenly the weather changed, a strong storm with high winds and tons of rain causing many of us to crash. Right around half way my budy Barrett crash into me breaking my rear wheel at one of the turns, he hit the floor and i manage to stay up but the damage was done, I rode by myself for half a loop trying to fix my rear brake but no luck it was too damage so I had to DNF. Im very dissapointed but this things happens, now just have to keep my preparation here in Argentina for the next 3 weeks and get ready for the REV3 race in february. Below is a video from the swim exit and later on this week ill post some photos and videos from the rest of the race.
