I did my first race today, I raced..... First timer class. 9 of us in the class.
The race was the Georgia State Cup Race Nuber 1. At Arrowhead Park. The trail is nothing but hills. AND they raced us backwards, so it was even more climbing. The trail was, according to the cyclecomputer I got yesterday (cat eye enduro 8) 5.75 miles long. I completed the lap in 43 minutes, average speed was 7.6mph (slow, but hills were everywhere) Max speed was 24mph.
To cut to the chase, I FINISHED FIRST IN THE FIRST TIMERS!! 4th in my wave or something like that.
They didn't award the first timer group anything so I have no medals or anything to show, but it was fun, and I'll be moving up into the 15-18 XC group.
Lot of good people there in the pro class, had a champion from a race in sweden, a few NORBA champs, and a bunch of other title holders.... they were FAST!
heres some pictures. Crappy day, Weather was really cold, and it misted rain all day..... FREEZING COLD!
