WOW what a ride!!! It is the day after my first Monster Track and Alleycat and I am not hurting as much as i expected. Being that I never really rode NYC with a no brake fixied gear I was nervous about the whole thing. Overall I think i did well navigating through the city traffic. I probably made some navigating mistakes by following the manifests checkpoints one after another. watching that short clip of Felipe made me realize that i should of hit the west side after the first checkpoint. it also showed me how insane of a rider that he is. Riding down 5th ave Squid past me by and i tried to follow him but i couldn't. Lasted about 3 blocks and couldn't hang with some of the moves he made around some cars. It was amazing!!!

As i got to the last checkpoint I wasn't to sure what to do. There were tons of bikes everywhere so it took me some time to actually find a place to lock my bike. As I was looking I asked some random guy about where to get my stamp. It turned out that the guy asked me for an interview for a documentary. In my exhausted state i said yes. He asked some questions about the race... I had no idea what i said, probably made a complete fool of myself. It was funny because at the same time as the guy was interviewing me, Alfred(I assumed at the time the winner) came out of the bar with a photographer to take some pictures him. He gave me a look to see who i was. I felf like a complete idiot because here I am close to last being interviewed while the winner was right next to me. I think i told the guy maybe you should be talking to him and not me.
