Johnny Guentner

Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?

Yes, I visited my family in NY and caught an evil cold from my nephews. Which caused me to stay off my bike and sleep a lot Oh yah, and I drank a Guinness the night before.

Did you like the way Guy's ran each category separately to reduce traffic due to the large turnout?

Hell Yah, my stress level was a lot lower than Hershey.

Were you happy with your choice of tires?

Yes, They rock

What was your favorite part of the course?

That fast section on the back side with all the banked corners.

Were you strong from start to finish?

Yes surprisingly, considering how I felt before the race.

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

I almost hit that tree with that double XX on it, that would have sucked really bad.

When did you put the hammer down?

I rode pretty steady the whole race until I saw Yozell then I had to try to catch him knowing that he had to be pretty high up in the Senior I class.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Sick

How would you rate the course?

That day I would say for fun a 10 for damage to the trails a 2

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes Very

Is there anything you would like to add?

I would like to reemphasize how great it was to have the classes separate. It cut down on a lot of stress and trail rage. And of course, Bill YOU ROCK!!!! Peace
