ended up with a strong 5th place in the semi pro catagory. race started off slow for me due to my 15 min warm up. i was doing announcing for the event so i jes couldnt get a longer warm up in....took me till lap 2-3 really to get warmed up. but me and couple others yo yo-ed back and forth throughout the entire race and since it rained the day before, the back half of the course had some MAJOR puddles that turned into a huge mess once 500 racers came riding through them. people were wiping out everywhere infront of me. as you can see from the picture below, my poor bike got thrashed! anyway, this week i was just coming off of a recovery week of really doing nothing for the most part, so i felt my legs could have been faster...just need a longer warm up next time and probably bout another week till my fitness comes back....
April 14 -
this race i got a good 45 min of warming up. so i was more fired up this time. i stayed with the lead racers who always win for the entire 1st lap. so i thought sweet! but then end of lap 2 and into 3 just my legs felt empty.....so at that point the race was between me and 1 other dood. we kept yo yo-ing back and forth and i passed him in the last part of the course. ended up with 8th place in semi pro catagory. my legs def are not there yet from the last 2 months work. think after this week the training i have done last few months will finally show. i just gotta be patient. below are some great pics...over 400 racers! my number plate is #19.
