Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
I did get out more on my road bike last week and I pre rode the course on Wednesday night.
Did you like the way Guy's ran each category separately to reduce traffic due to the large turnout?
YES Guys did a great job with starting and staging. I hope we can get more promoters to do this.
Were you happy with your choice of tires?
Yes they worked well in the mud.
What was your favorite part of the course?
The windy single track was a blast !!
Were you strong from start to finish?
I thought I rode well. Andy the leader in my class was very strong today and I just could not catch him. Good job Andy!!
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?:
No, all went well
When did you put the hammer down?
I tried to pick it up on lap 3. I saw Andy a few turns up ahead of me so I went after him. Than a root got me and I went down by the time I got going again I kind of gave up chasing Andy and finished second.
Did you have any unusual problems?
A few shifting problems but I am sure we all had that with the mud.
How would you rate the course?
The course was great!! one of the best around to go out and race.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
Guys did a great job!! Special thanks need to go out to Mike Flynn and Rich Cordoro for a job well done. They worked long and hard to put it all together.
Is there anything you would like to add?
Thanks to all the racers for coming out and I hope you all had fun. Next race this weekend at Fell mountain. I did this race last year and it is GREAT!! DON'T MISS THIS ONE!! see you all there.
