Did you do everything you could to be prepared for today's race?
Not at all.
Did you find the race course challenging?
I found it to be lots of fun.
How did you like the Mega-dip?
That's the best part. It's fun..... a good rush.
Were you strong from start to finish?
I rode steady the whole time. I was going to kick it the last lap..... and they shortened the laps so..... I just rode my own pace.
Didn't you ride an extra lap?
Yeah....... I was just supporting old man Fuzzy.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Yeah....... they did a good job. Registration, running it...... results...... payout........everything was great.
When did you put the hammer down?
I didn't ...... I didn't get a chance to.
Did you have any unusual problems?
No. Bike ran great. Everything ran great.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
