Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
Not really, just got a good night sleep.
Was the water crossing fun?
Just got off my bike and ran through it as fast as I could. Someone took there shoes off and tiptoed accross which I thought was strange
What was your favorite part of the course?
I thought the whole course was great! The single track was great, but I really enjoyed some of the downhills, especially the open fields where you could hall ass in the big ring!!!
Were you strong from start to finish?
I felt really good throughout the race, I think not knowing where the finish line was and no laps made it great because I did not worry about pacing myself, I could just ride.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
I was in Third place entering the second stretch of single track where the two people in front of me flatted within seconds of one another, it was strange, I was just thankful I did not flat too. I pumped my tires up real hard before the race to prevent it, guess it worked.
When did you put the hammer down?
Right after the River, I really started to try and widen the lead, I think that's when I really started to feel anxious.
Did you have any unusual problems?
No, felt pretty good, and I'm happy with my Trek
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
The race itself was run great, I loved the course, obviously the scoring could have been done a lot better, I'm sure that frustrated everyone. I just hope people realize that the group that ran the race was not responsible for the scoring. I think the man who ran the race Todd I think his name is, handled it pretty well.
Is there anything you would like to add?
Think it may be time to give expert a try!!!
