Joey Thompson

Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?

Well I had ridden the course probably close to 10 times. Getting smacked around by Todd has its advantages.

Was the water crossing fun?

Yeah, I dug it.

What was your favorite part of the course?

Tie between 5 Bridges and Body Count downhill.

Were you strong from start to finish?

Yeah

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

No, not that I can remember.

When did you put the hammer down?

About 15 mins in on the climb that takes you up to the Gallaher bridge.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Nope, everything went smoothly.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yeah, the race was run well, but the timing people really messed up.

Is there anything you would like to add?

Thanks for a fun day of racing, and of course you're the man Bill.
