Nick Waite

How was your fitness level going into this race?

Pretty good coming off of racing at altitude last weekend in Big Bear....... so it feels good to have some oxygen rich air to race in.

Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?

Yeah.... actually I was....... I was pretty steady today.

Were you strong from start to finish?

Yes...... definitely.

When did you put the hammer down?

2nd Lap I'd say....... parts of the second lap.

Did you have any unusual problems?

Besides my gears shifting a little bit funky in the rear........ nothing too major.

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

I was.... actually it was a little bit late but that was Ok since we were all getting our stuff together anyway...... like tires......

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

Yeah.... it was kind of like a bike ride with Jeremiah (laughs as Jeremiah was in earshot)

Anything you would like to add?

I would like to thank the West Virginia Div. of Tourism for their awesome sponsorship and of course Balance Bar / Devo and everyone for their support.

Also, I haven't raced here before.......... it was fun...... I'd like to come back!
