  Pretty good I tested out my legs at a road race the weekend before and felt pretty good.
   
  
• Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?
   
  Yes. I was third behind Brandon and Adam
   
  
• Were you strong from start to finish?
   
  I was hurting on the last lap.
   
  
• When did you put the hammer down?
   
  With a lap and a half to go to try and close the gap between Brandon.

  Nope.
   
  
• Were you happy with the way the race was run?
   
  Yes.

  Not really when Chris Eatough lapped me I tried to sit on his wheel but that didn't last too long.

  Yeah, I would like to thank my sponsors Bergwerk, Gretna Bikes, Lupine Lights, Extran, Ritchey Components, Shimano, Pa Pension Planners, Nextel Cellular, and High Speed Coaching By Mike Kuhn. I would also like to thank my teammate Nick and my coach Mike Kuhn.
