well I got home early tonight , and Normally I would join the Tuesday Night trail work, but Being home early I had the opportunity to do the Bums Tuesday Night time trial. It was 90+ degrees out , so would I rather be sweating while digging , or racing in Brutal heat ?
I decided to race
the part of the series was in Douglas State forest.
I got there did a little warm up then off I went , I had not ridden the course before , but fortunately I had ridden most of the trails before, but no matter I was sucking wind , and while I had ridden most of the trails, never at race pace. a couple of the rock gardens it would have been nice to know , and I slammed my knee into my stem once ( resulting in blood ). but I felt OK about my performance . I haven't seen the offical results yet, they are not posted , but I'm sure I'm near the bottom.
did the 5 mile course in 33 minutes
and I drank a lot of water !! almost my entire camel back.
I did take a Few pics , did not have the oppertunity to take too many , these were all taken near or at the Start finish.
