How was your fitness level going into this race?
Ummm it was okay I haven't been getting a lot of miles.
Were you happy
with your position going into the singletrack?
No there was a traffic jam of racers and it was hard to stay on the bike
and gain a good spot
Were you strong from start to finish?
I started out weak but came on strong in the end
When did you put the hammer
down?
On the the road climbs and single track through the woods
Did you have any
unusual problems?
Yeah, my grips flew off and my seat was too high but that didn't matter I
just have to ride more
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Yess Classic Series by TREK is sweeett. mountainbikeRACER.com throws a great
series.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges
with competitors/spectators)?
Not really a lot of crashes but it was hard not to.
Anything you would like
to add?
THANK YOU too my mother for taking me and Curt's Cyclery for all my race
parts.
