How was your fitness level going into this race?

Pretty good

Were you happy with your position going into the singletrack?

No I was almost last because of two crashes the 1st half mile of the race

Were you strong from start to finish?

No I felt stronger after the first 6 miles after I caught back up with Cid

When did you put the hammer down?

When Cid crashed behind me and I could see a large group ahead of me and I caught them to put as many racers between him and myself

Did you have any unusual problems?

No

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes though when they gave out awards the Jrs were last so there wasn't much left on the table

Did you have any interesting experiences during your race (exchanges with competitors/spectators)?

Yes I was leading a pretty large group through the woods and we came upon another rider and he wouldn't let us pass even though I was a Jr. Most people were excellent when it came to passing on the course though.

Anything you would like to add?

Thanks to all of my friends, family and teammates for cheering me on. My sponsors www.gretnabikes.com, the Philips Group, Accent on Communications, Vomax, Bergwerk and Busheys. Thanks to the rider who wouldn't let me pass because that just made me want to go even harder.
