Don Morrison INTERVIEW - mountainbikeRACER.com

How was your fitness level going into this race?

It was below where I would like to see it for this time of year. It was a long tough winter for all of us. I also did not touch a bike from the end of november to the first of march.
Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?

Yes!! I was first. I wanted to make sure I got through the first mud sections ok.
Were you strong from start to finish?

I did not want to try to go real hard being out of shape so I just rode to get riding time and to finish.
When did you put the hammer down?

Only for the first 2 miles or so to get clear. After that I just rode to have fun and did not push very hard.
Did you have any unusual problems?

No things went better than I thought.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes!! Shirks bike team did a great job. We did a lot of trail work to get this ready. The parks trails were pretty messy up to just a few weeks ok.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

It was good to see everyone again. And also start the series with another great rider turn out.
Anything you would like to add?

I would like to thank Brian and Anne Hess. For those of you that don't know them they are the folks that took over from me the running of the Super Series. Please be sure to say Hi!! to them and say thanks!!
