Comments:

funny event - lots of elite riders in the sport and expert division (longer course), few normal folks in beginner division. At the Banquet I got a metal! I took 2nd to Annie - the lady who took third started 22 minutes late..... My goal was not to get lapped by the elite riders! Race people were nice.... I called my husband to tell him and how I won 2nd by default. He said this proves that the only people in Winnemucca who work out are me and all those fast people who did the long course - so soon I should be one of those fast people....
What would you do differently?:

Train!

Course: haven;t been on a mtn bike in a long time - more technical than I have done in 20 years. I was on husband's bike so I could have shocks, but it was a bit tall and had no toe cages or anything. Never expected water crossings! this is Nevada! But the drainages were running and felt pretty refreshing.
