    Hey Sarah,
    I introduced myself last November at the Mt. SAC race, didn't get a chance to out at Southridge, but I did yell out to you as you went by in your race run. Come out to Fontana on June 3rd, or I'll drop you a pm when we go out there to practice.

    Marla called earlier asking if she could give me some private lessons. Apparently she saw me eating up the DH course in my XC gear and said she recognised true talent when she saw it. I reluctantly agreed to her coming over to teach in the vain hope that somehow my skills could get to an even more lofty position. I had to turn down her offer of leaving her husband for me, it jsut wouldnt be fair to the wee baby. I've never heard a woman weep like that before, truly saddening.

    Did they cut out the wall section on Sunday? No way was that a sub 2 minute course.

    I'll be there racing that weekend. I'm 99% sure the course will run along the left side of the paved road as it has the past 2 Cal State races.

    Not too sure about that, I heard some rumors of a new(not used in a long time) course. But who knows, it will probably be 100 degrees out there when Donny is setting up the course, and it will probably be the one Franky's talking about.
    Sarah, I think this format will really suit your style, it's a 2 run format. They combine the times, so it's all about consistency. I think we need to start a new thread for this race.
