How was your fitness level going into this race?

I felt really good going into the race. I was riding a lot and felt at the top of my game.

Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?

Yuppers, I went in first. Aaron was right there though!!!

Were you strong from start to finish?

Yes, for the first time I actually was.

When did you put the hammer down?

Coming out of the singletrack and up the hill before you go down the ski slop. I just gave it all I had going up that hill.

Did you have any unusual problems?

My chain dropped onto my BB 2 times, I am going to have to teach that Trek a lesson or two. No just kidding, I need to adjust it.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

YES

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

Nate (2nd place) and I talked most of the race. One time I went to tell him I had a wedgy the size of the Grand Canyon, but I couldn't remember the word Grand Canyon for some reason, so I bet I sounded dumb.

Anything you would like to add?

It would have been a great race between Aaron, Nate and I , but Aaron got 2 flats which is beyond bad luck! So props to him for running the last mile and finishing!!! Thanks to Nate for putting in a great ride. I 'd like to thank Jesus for dying for me. Cy for being me riding buddy. TREK for making great bikes. And everyone who organizes the races.
