wors cup.
this weekend had me racing the omnium at wors cup. this had two components...the super d and the cross country. super d was a 3/4 lap of the cross country, with the big climb excluded. there were enough smaller climbs though to keep it tough. i lost my chain which lost me some time, but it was still a good run.
the cross country was long, hot and tough. i had water bottle cage issues, suspension fork issues and power issues (as in no sprint power to speak of). these are all the result of two things: an aging bike (in terms of race hours) and a shift in training focus. i must admit that i walked away from the race missing the mtb circuit. maybe a couple more next year but not too many...
anyway, i finished 44th in the comp class. mostly due to a couple of minor crashes and being at the tail end of the bottle neck at the first set of single track. oh well, i wasn't expecting that much. plus, i had a lot of fun.
scott and lisa stayed with us. it was great to see them again.
did a long run yesterday. i recovered a lot better than i have under similar circumstances in past years. must be all the miles...
