Racing...Racing...and more racing. Luckily I only did one race this weekend but I there was a TON of people that we racing all kids of events from the 12hr to Downhilling. The conditions were absolutly perfect for all of the races and the rain even held out for us racing XC at fontana. It was not to long after we finished a heavy mist/rain came rolling in.
The race went well for me as it was the end of a 4 week build. I was felling pretty good but there was definitly some fatigue left over from my workouts in the past month. It was not to far into the race when Eric and I seperated ourselves from the pack and were on our own to duke it out. It was defintly a better course than the last time as there was a new single track that totally suited Eric's big 29'r wheels. He rolled right up the new trail where I was definitly struggling with it. Long story short it was a great race with even the course marshalls heckeling us! It was great cause after all we are not at a golf tourny!
It came down to the wire where I snuck past Eric and took the win! It was so close that we actually finished on the same second.
After the race I went home and showered then headed out to Vail to watch some of the 12hr. It was great to hear that so many of my friends were winning! My Buds that made up a 4 person team ended up winning the whole race with 17 laps! I heard that there was quite a few pulling solo efforts that I was not able to see because it was dark!
Congrats to all and thanks for making it a great weekend!
PS I am getting a new race machine and it is going to be AWESOME. Think a full suspension carbon frame with carbon wheels, dual control levers and will weigh under 21lbs. Oh I can't wait...next week! I am riding a demo bike now that is the same frame. Pictures and full parts list after its first ride...
