This will be short and sweet, like the racing I prefer. But its that time of year again. Where I regret doing this little race at Stony Creek. This year it was hotter, and I finished it in one of the worst times ever. 4:30 mins for the 50 mile course. The legs felt great all the way through and I never even cramped. But my neck, hands, back, bottom of feet, and ass were screaming. On a positive note, the CX plan has began. And this was the first week for it. For the first time since I have been racing, I took off 3 solid weeks of training leading to this week. And it showed for the race, but I am really fresh for my real season in the coming months. Before I go, there were some great rides today in what is always one of the toughest mountain bike races in the state so here are some of my favorites.
Mark Parmelee - 1st Elite - This is awesome. He beat some big boys, and racing in the heat for a long time is not his strength.
Alex Gonzalez - 3rd place - Best Expert finish to date. And putting TSB on the podium! Way to go!
Brad Lako - 5th place - So far Brad is 5 for 5 in the USAC series for Podium trips! Hell Yeah!
Shawn Schaffert - 4th - Great to see you riding well again.
Don Cameron - 1st - What can I say. DC is un-stoppable!
Kevin Kahl - Well you didn't get on the podium. But you are well on your way! You had a great ride and should be happy with your progress to date.
Aryn Pongratz - No podium for you either. But dude. You kicked ass today. It is all coming back and coming back well for you.
See you all at Bloomer....
