Quick report on this event....as it was pretty straight forward. For me, I had my best race in my 7 attempts at this venue. Finally, from start to finish I had a solid energy burn and was able to 'race' the entire course...riding everything from start to finish. I set a personal record for time on the course which is 4 hrs 20 minutes....3 minutes faster than last year. As for my result? 23rd overall out of roughly 70 guys that started. The result number is not what I wanted, but when you line up with the best XC and long distance riders in the USA I really can't complain. Other item of note: sponsor equipment worked perfectly from start to finish.
