Joey Thompson

Did you do everything you could to prepare for today's race?

No, I started school this week so I was out of my normal routine.

Did you have any problems getting into the singletrack?

No

How did you like the manhole downhill?

I liked the downhill part but the turn at the bottom sucked since you pretty much had to stop to make the turn.

Were you strong from start to finish?

No, I felt good for the first 2 laps, but the 3rd and 4th I felt really crappy and I don't know why.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yeah, they did a nice job.

When did you put the hammer down?

I never did. I felt to crappy.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Yeah, the bike worked good but the body didn't. I guess I need to upgrade.

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

No

Did you climb the steep uphill on any laps?

No, I made it up 3/4 of the way on laps 1 and 2 and nowhere near the top on laps 3 and 4.

Anything you'd like to add?

You're the man Bill.
