Thank you,
I had a great time, except one hill nearly killed me... I felt as if I were about to throw up, I was about to hop off the bike, but I saw the top and kept going. I had the lead the whole time, Even from the start, from the picture you can see I jumped ahead. It was sad though, I was out biked by everyone in my wave except this one college kid, kind of depressing LOL. I was looking at all their full suspension decked out with fox and xtr and crap and was just like, there's no way you're a first timer lol.
next time I'm racing the 15-18 XC class, and I'm determined to get on that podium, as they didnt do anything for first timers, I guess it's ebcause we didn't have to pay to race =(
