Comments: I believe we could have gone faster through the gravel and grass. The ST beat the crap outta me. I think I totaled 4 wipeouts, but I did have a ton of other tribulations through there. What would you do differently?: Not fall. Make more prudent decisions when choosing races?  Post race
Warm down: Eat Brats and drink beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ability. Genetics. Practice. Conditioning. Any combination of the above. Event comments: First ever MTB race. I quite enjoyed it, but have a long way to go before I am comfortable on the MTB. Singletrack is tight, and I need to get more comfortable with theidea of picking up the pace.

Champion 14677  Bronze member | Subject: RE: Piggy's Revenge That is a heck of a long race for your first MTB race. That took lots of guts to enter and finish. Good job. If you do it again, I'll come down and do it, too. I will make you look good! |

Master 9705 Raleigh, NC area | Subject: RE: Piggy's Revenge Great job! That was a long first race! I'm sorry that it was so cold out. At least it was sunny. I suppose that the extra layers added some padding? Are you ready for the next one? |

I think I'll consider it for next year, although my buddy Dan has sworn off anything that long.| 2017-01-10 8:16 AM in reply to: jmkizer |

I suppose that the extra layers added some padding? Are you ready for the next one? I'm looking at a couple of options coming up. It really wasn't that bad once we got going. Extra padding was appreciated! I didn't put any details in about the crash that sent me tumbling towards the creek. Padding didn't help. Adrenaline did! |

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: Piggy's Revenge What an entry into MTB racing!! Congratulations on entering, competing, finishing and not killing yourself in the process |
You need to get over to Alaafia and ride what the Ragnar race called the red loop, I think you'd have a blast.| 2017-01-10 11:28 AM in reply to: amd723 |

| Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Piggy's Revenge 40 miles for your first MTB race = WOW! Nice work coming out of it unscathed, as it sounds, despite the 4 wipeouts. Congrats on not getting eaten by a pig, snake, bear or gator! Brats + beers = solid finishing rewards |

Royal(PITA) 14270 West Chester, Ohio | Subject: RE: Piggy's Revenge That is one long first time in a mountain bike race distance! Given the weather and number of layers & falls I would say you rocked it and kicked butt!
Besides, I am too chicken to try riding MTB, I know I will break something. |

Get dressed, then dress more. Ate sausage and cheese on a roll. Finished packing, wondered about my sanity, and drove to the venue.
Ha, warm up. It was 35* when we started, so the 3 layers of clothes would have to do the trick.
