    Hahahahaha!!! Just checked the results.
    Listening to the times as the four riders after me came though I had 5th.
    I went from 5th to 6th when they posted after the race and then 6th to 7th and the times had changed now that they posted on the site. :-k#-o:-k:lol:

    Yeah I head part of my time as I came across, and then looked at the first print out but when results came out it had changed by around 5 seconds:?:. It didnt matter that much more confused by it. I wasn't on the podium either way. Oh well I knew I had a bad race so didn't really expect anything. I did at least lead for a few riders:lol:

    All I know is that it's common for lizards to be referred to by the color of their bellies, so this one would just be a yellow bellied lizard. Yep, highly scientific. lol Good capture, by the way.

    I know a little late posting but was a great weekend of racing! Sat. Practice was fun and was able to get in 5 runs. Nice having that short little line! Sunday took two runs for practice. First run down had my tire wash out on the little drop corner just before the S bank turns. No harm no foul..little bruised hip, more ego then anything else as I had cleared it all day Sat. Worked the section for a bit until I was comfortable again. Was thrilled when found out Nancy was going to be in our group! How cool??!!:beer: After all the training and help she has given me I get to be in the same race with her!! Yes she is the "Carrot" We get to chase after and it was fun! I enjoy seeing all the friends and chatting with everyone! I finished 2nd pl after Nancy but was excited to she I wasn't smoked by her! I think it was about 22 seconds behind her. I know it's a lot but for me it was close enough!!! I was very excited for Traci as well as she has been training and it really paid off for her this race! It is so much fun having it so close. She was only 2 seconds behind me! Looks I will have to kick up the training for myself to a new level! NO really I just had a blast and couldn't have asked for a better time! See everyone soon. Jon I send healing vibes to you and hope it is just a sprained ankle! Thanks Nancy for all the fun!:wave:

    Thanks for the help down the hill. That was a decent body slam to my left side and I'm glad there were folks around to help. Captain America jersey had to be cut off of me, but I've already got some ideas on how to fix it and make it even better than before!

    The highlight of my weekend was getting such a great result. But the other thing I really enjoy at this event is seeing all the factory trucks, factory bikes, gorgeous XC ladies, vendors etc.. The real highlight though from a fan point of view is seeing Gwin, Hannah, and this dude riding up close and live.(no disrespect to EC, or any of our bad ass locals)
    Graves just looks like he was born to slay it on a 4X bike. His two wheel Kung fu is strong to say the least

    It was great seeing all the STR folks out there. I wish Lee was out there, but I heard he damaged a shoulder. Healing vibes to you, brother.

    I'm limited to 20GB of bandwidth a month. (bandwidth is how much information is transfered from the servers when someone views the site) I hit my limit. I'm working on contacting the person that has access to upgrade my bandwidth. The site will be back online at midnight.

    Sorry
