Well, some people wanted a mud race. . . . . .as we always say "be careful what you wish for".
The thought of taking a DNF crossed my mind MORE than once today. Come to think of it, I'm not really sure HOW I managed to finish. Granted it was a completely different course than the WEMS race (or the course we pre-rode for that matter). . . . .but I rode the Craters climb 5 times for the 3 hour WEMS race and today I had to walk part of it on EACH lap. Now THAT is bad.
I need time to reflect on this. . . . . .despite the fact that I finished not-so-bad. . . . . .I'm not really sure if I had fun or not. I'll sleep on it and let you know tomorrow.
At least Athena doesn't appear "hurt". . . .and after about 30 minutes of scrubbing, she's finally clean again (yes, I cleaned her).
Yikes.

Nice finish! And thanks for all the encouragement during the race, even if it did make me laugh as I was climbing the ski hill.

you know you had fun. you did excellent. you aren't racing if you haven't thought of dnf'ing at some point... i said i didn't but in reality on the second lap in the single track when i couldn't get up that short steep section and the final climb into the finish i thought about it too- but that was just silly.
ummm...is Athena the pet name for your bike, or something else?
Athena is my mountain bike. Don't you read my blog? ;-)
