Comments:

uh, where do i start. bad at MTB to start, had a "going flat tire" for a while, had to stop to pump (only like 2 min.) went flat again, but only slowed me down. I fell when this #$%#$%# passed me on a narrow single track in stealth mode, and ran me off trail. I cussed him like any honest southern boy would do, picked up, and kept truckin. I fell one other time in some loose sand that threw me off trail. I cussed the sand the same! My time was slow, but i made it on my borrowed Trek tank 4500 HT.
What would you do differently?:

Have a bike i didnt borrow, that didnt weigh 100 LBS. buy a bike to suit me. Learn to really ride it!

Comments:

My legs were suprisingly not too bricked. I used my IPOD, so by the time i got it goin good, my legs were fine. I cruised up to the bridge and just got a burst of energy! I took off like lightning and slowed my pace at the big hill so i didnt kill my legs. I was buirning pretty bad for a while,and my feet started numbing but just kept up, by the time i hit the pavement it was like a treadmill! The rest was just fine, and i just cruised to the finish!
What would you do differently?:

figure out why my feet go numb when i run??
