How was your fitness level going into this race?
Umm it was pretty good its still early in the season.
Were you
happy with your position going into the singletrack?
Yes, I took the lead and just kept trying to put riders between me and
the other racers in my class.
Were you strong from start to finish?
Yes, I felt pretty strong the whole race. I was having fun so it didn't
matter if I was strong or not.
When did you put the hammer down?
Towards the end of the first lap I started to push it.
Did you have
any unusual problems?
No everything went perfect. The course was awesome and the race went smooth.
Were
you happy with the way the race was run?
The course was awesome and the race went smooth. Wooden Wheels hosts a
great race and the Trek classic series is so awesome!
Did you
have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
Not really I saw a lot of water bottles and people glasses in the trail,
free stuff but its kind of hard to pick it up when you are racing!
Anything
you would like to add?
Thanks to my dad for taking me there all the things he does for me. Curt's
Cyclery for the great service on my bike. Matt Miller for tuning my bike.
