feeling pretty good about that one.
fat tire rules.
at the start, the mantra i kept repeating in my head was 'don't go out too hard, don't go out too hard' and that helped me throughout my race. i managed to always be chasing and felt pretty good until the end. the thing about fat tire is you are always making decisions...to go with people or not to. i only missed one i should have went with and from the results it seems it cost me my chance to go under 2.5 hours. but, considering how much i've been racing this year i will take it. i came in thinking sub-3:00 would be a moral victory...so this blew that away.
#10 was a charm. 2:25.28, 309 out of 1700. team fuel was well represented on the podi with joe winning the single speed race and scott/christine scoring #2 mixed tandem. several others in the top 100 and josh took 30 minutes off his time from last year (disguised as his brother). nice!
it was great to see everyone post race...everyone always seems to be in such a great mood following this race. i had a few fat tires and soaked it all in. throughout the day i developed a headache that got worse as i tried to sleep...i didn't sleep much because of it and ended up going to kwik trip at 5am to get some medicine...so i'm a little tired this morning.
cross racing on saturday.
happy monday.
