Yah...that was a pretty poor assumption.
I was basically saying that the technical level of the course was poop. I think the rider's endurance levels are most likely top notch and lightyears ahead of my lazy butt. I have been pissing and moaning this year an aweful lot about the lack of "off road terrain" on MTB races.
Basically dirt/road races.
There's more to high level MTB'ing than endurance. I feel that the focus should be on the technical skills aspect. Then you'd have Olympian Roadies pissing and moaning b/c they're not quite tough enough for the road course, but skinny lil' Ryan Leech kicked their tails on the MTB course, haha.
(and no...I don't think the MTB courses should be a "trials course"...I was just giving an example of a person who has mastered their technical skills)
