Nope, it definately gained a few pounds during the course of the race. However I did lose a few grams during my first crash when I lost my computer. Believe it or not the was still shifting relatively well considering all of the mud. This is my third season with this bike and I enjoy it more every time I ride it. I'm dreading the day I have to pick out a new frame.

BTW, for what it's worth I finished 6th in sport class 18 - 34. Best finish so far, losing 40 pounds and training five or six days a week really does make this whole racing thing much more enjoyable.
