Did you do anything special (apart from the whole training lifestyle) to prepare for this race?
Nope, I was just using this as a tune up for the 24 hours of Snowshoe next weekend.
Did you like the way Guy's ran each category separately to reduce traffic due to the large turnout?
Yeah, that worked out really well, much better than Hershey.
Were you happy with your choice of tires?
Yes, Alligators rule.
What was your favorite part of the course?
The sandy singletrack through the pine trees with the bermed turns that you could fly through.
Were you strong from start to finish?
Yeah, all my laps were about the same.
Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?
No
When did you put the hammer down?
Going up the first grassy climb.
Did you have any unusual problems?
No
How would you rate the course?
If the course was dry, it would have been so fast, it was fast anyway. It was a fun course I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
Were you happy with the way the race was run?
I was happy, I thought the race was run very well. The 3 minutes between each class worked out very well.
Is there anything you would like to add?
You're the man, Bill.
