Pre-race routine:

Checked over the bikes the night before. McDonald's McGriddle that morning for fuel.

Comments:

Off road 17 mile loop at Tucsons Fantasy Island. Age group starts from along the fence line, with a 100 yard sprint for position at the trailhead.

My time on the course is a minute or two slower this year, but my overall bike handling was better and I didn't have any crashes.

Lost some time yielding right of way to two rattlesnakes in the trailway.

Brought home the silver medal for my division. The Mrs. took the Gold for hers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Yeilding right of way for the rattlesnakes.

Event comments:

35+ years of hiking,biking,camping, and being outdoors without seeing a single rattlesnake. Today I see two.

Congrats to you and your wife! I loved the "I didn't see his wife out there racing" comment. Very cool that you both took home some hardware.

Yeah, Fantasy seems to be a major breeding ground for rattlers. Now that it's warming up they are all out in force, looking for stuff to eat. Hopefully your race was nice and early in the day, as it sure was hot in Tucson this weekend.
