Another Wednesday night spent mountain bike racing! The course was short this week with three mile laps on some interesting bumpy and technical riding with short climbs. I was a bit overheated after the first practice lap but felt better after a couple more. So this course was a great course for me. Once the race started I had separated myself by the end of the first lap. I continued to build a lead but, at the end of the third lap I got a flat. I was severely disappointed to say the least. I felt I had the race win in the bag and then there was no air in my rear tire. I want to thank the mother and two little girls who were there watching their dad race for the moral support while I fixed the flat. I finished the race rather than DNFing it. My season point total will take a hit because of my placing. Maybe this and the fact that the team competition starts next week will motivate me to start getting some first places. Jen and Keith both won again so at least my teammates did awesome!
