Well, I had lots of fun at the race sunday. I did get the wind taken out of my sails when the pack bunched up in the hairpin at the third turn.

I don't think the course design is bad. I think riders are making some wildly bad choices. Diving to the inside of the corner does not garuntee you'll mke the corner. And when you're turning around a tree, you're just not going to make it without crossing everyone elses line.

The course was the most fun I've had racing. Every time I lost the will to live, something interesting was thrown at me. The toilet bowl, the hill and pump section, the sand trap... Just a little something to keep things from getting dull.

I'm looking forward to this weekend.
