Chris Yanavich

Did you do everything you could to prepare for today's race?

No

Did you have any problems getting into the singletrack?

I wasn't the first one in, a couple of riders smoked me on the climb.

How did you like the long climbs?

Longs climbs are great for people who are in shape.

Were you strong from start to finish?

No

Were you happy with the way the race was run?

Yes

When did you put the hammer down?

When I was about a half mile behind the first place rider. I was in third and really hurting, and my team mate tells me to "catch that dude from Cedar bikes"

Did you have any unusual problems?

I bonked a bunch of times, pre-riding the course was my mistake, I wasn't hydrated to begin with and after the race I could really feel the effects.

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

No

Do you enjoy point to point races more than lap races?

Sometimes
