Race Recap

Yeah, I don't have one. I didn't race. I was one of the idiots who fell in the rock garden on pre-ride and hurt myself enough that I couldn't be at the start line on Sunday. So much for having skills.

For some strange reason. . . . . .I'm not too upset about not being able to race.

Props to those who were brave enough to endure 4 laps of that course. Awesome job.

Honestly? I'm an idiot who lack skills. I got most of the way through the rock garden, then bounced off the BIG rock and wiped out. Bounced my body off the other rocks so hard it jarred my back a good one. I'll live. . .at least I think. Hopefully it's just muscular this time around. It was spasming yesterday, but I can move ok today. I guess it just gave me an excuse to not put myself through hell. Excuses, excuses. . . .

From now on, on your pre-ride, stop and observe how the riders with the "skills" float through sections like that versus the rest of the riders. Watch their line through the section and their body position on the bike. Then duplicate it on the pre-ride and save it to your database (brain) for future reference. You will be a floater (not sure that's good when stated) versus a crasher.

You did fantastic and had a good line until that dam boulder got in the way. Next time don't look at it. Just kiiding:) I truly missed you out there, I was all alone again:( That's so very much for the hand ups! Get that back rested up, so you can tear it up again at Wausau!
