Legit dude. Congrats!

I raced the Rocky Hill Ranch XC Mtb race. Cat 2 19-29. About 25 of us in the group I think. From the gun we were on a jeep trail for about a half mile before singletrack. I gunned it and went into the singletrack with the dude who won the Marathon Mtb series this winter. It was just the two of us from then on. Lots and lots of passing the groups ahead of us - that alone is worth upgrading to a 1 in my mind.

At about mile 10 of 16, the other dude hit a branch and went down. I drilled it, to try and go for the win. Another mile later, he caught me and absolutely blew by me to take the W. I kept the pace up and came in 2 minutes later - and only 30 seconds ahead of 3rd. Good for 2nd. I'm not sure the upgrade rules, but that's got to be some points.
