So it looks like it's been awhile and I have enough to report on to say the least. I'm going to try and sum up the month that was as short as I can... Ready?? GO!
The WORS mountain bike race in Franklin kinda sucked, I was looking forward to this race all year in part due to the long switch back climb. But I got off to a slow start and got stuck on the back end of a really slow single track train that was lead by two "pinball wizards"
(translation- see pinball machine) Finished 25th overall eeeeeek! But not all was wasted, I did catch the biggest bass ever!! while camping before the race. She was over 21 inches.
Race the lake had all the makings of a great race/time. Jesse came into town the night before so we talked race strategy and then hit the hay. We awoke at 4:15 am? yes to early for jvog.
The race started before we knew it. I started in the first wave and was alittle nervice about it but handled it ok until we got through Oshkosh where I found myself in the middle of a big crash. I surprised myself by getting up and actually catching the lead group. twenty mins later I and some others were droped. Around mile 62 my knee started acting up and I choose to call in my support van (my mom and dad) to pick me up and call it quites for the day in hopes of saving the season. I hate quiting but the thought of going through what i went through last year with my knee after this race wasn't really an option.
After a week and some change of some reasonable training I have reason to belive I'm ready for the next WORS race in the GB area. Should be a great weekend and an even better race.
I hope to write up a race report shortly following the race. But we all know how that goes.
