did anyone get any of me over the lower rock garden? 239E

 

You 746 or 764? I have 764N

Sorry I didnt even see you until you were past. Thats how fast you are or I was distracted by the pink:lol:

I did yell for you to pedal

 

Sorry, my bad, I was in "G" class. I was either 746 or 764...can't remember.

I was in "G" class, so maybe 746. I thought I was 764, but I guess I'm wrong. Thanks for looking!:beer:

 

The day started pretty bad for me, took a couple of runs but couldn't nail any of the lines I practiced on Saturday. Hiked up to spectate the lower rock garden and almost missed the last shuttle. Once back up top everything just seemed to click. I was able to put together a good enough run to nab 1st in the 35-42 sport class.

 

You must have the number right as 764 is that N rider. But I have to ask how did you get the class letter confused?

 

Anyone have any of 761Z? I had fun once again but need more practice. Thanks everyone.

 

Anyone get any of 133W?

You still look quick. cant tell you dont have a chain

 

Well I was trying to ignore all the prerace post but now that the race has come and gone I had to read it all. I finally rehabed may jacked up back. Went out for a warm up XC ride wednesday and jacked my shoulder really good so I skipped the race today. Sounds like everyone had a good time dispite the winds.

Congrats to all and hope to see you in a couple weeks.

 

DH pics are up.

I got at least one shot of everyone who has asked so far as they came through the rock garden.

I really missed seeing everyone today

I woke up this morning feeling a littl crummy so I decided not to race. It sounds like the wind didn't exactly make it a picnic anyhow!

 

it was a good day overall. got up early and did 2 runs with tmac and happy gilmore. felt okay on the first, great on the second, and then decided to take it easy for the race. race went okay, but I wasn't particularly happy with it. whether that be due to actually doing poorly, or me just being an anal perfectionist, we may never know though.

basically, my gamble to take my clips for pedalyness didn't really pay off. left foot wouldn't clip in on the start, then came unclipped after the first rock drops, then again on the road to the suttle road (just peadling #-o), and then it was fine. also swung the turn out of the bowl too wide, and ended up in some stupid, powdery stuff that killed my speed.

overall, I got 7th in sport 19-26, with a 2:36:49. pretty much 7 seconds out of the lead, but I know I made a ton of mistakes. still, happy with the result. more importantly, I had a TON of fun, and had a great time riding with lots of cool people. arguably better than winning. :beer:
