Decent race and turn out. Seeding Time trail went ok. I was on the brakes way too much. I have not ridden this trail since last year. Did not do a pre-ride. Placed 2nd in 1st elemination round. Tacktics worked well this time. Instead of charging into the race to control the pace on the single track I sat back and reeled people in in front of me as they got tired. Finals was ridden much the same way. I did not chase when people jumped. I was hoping the technical features of the trail would slow people down. It worked for the most part. course before the race

I could have gone faster if I was not on the brakes as much and pre-rode the course to learn the lines before hand.

talked story with friends. had a gatorade


lack of trail intell. Needed more saddle time to learn the lines.


good race course as usual. watch out for the poison ivy
