Denmo's RR
Got to Fontucky early Saturday and did a few DH practice runs with the buds. The course was fast and flowy but was more like a Super D course (welcome to DH racing in So Cal).
Unfortunately, Saturday 4x ended up being a bust for me, I could barely walk let alone pedal the 4x bike, so after a weak attempt at practice I decided to withdraw and spectate instead. Congrats to Julia on her 1st place, you earned it!!! I hope to challenge you at race #5!!!
The highpoint of the 4x racing was Roger's consi round where he passed "the big guy" and then got run into by him so hard that both feet came out of the pedals. After that he tried to get his feet back on but they kept sliding off. The laughter from the entire mountain was deafening!!!
So, some of you already know, I have a partially herniated disk between L5 and S1 which is causing my nerve issues in my left leg and decreased ROM. The Ortho put me on a 6 day course of oral steroids, Saturday being day 1. They seemed to have kicked in because Sunday morning I could actually walk without hobling (Saturday I looked like a little old grandma and needed a cane).
Got 2 push up practice runs and 1 shuttle practice run and was just happy to be on the bike and able to pedal and turn. My race run felt great, but just wasn't fast enough to beat the younger girls in my class. I wasn't that far off the podium, so it's time to train more on the wall!!! :bang:
Roger had a good race also and came in 2nd. Congratulations to everyone who came out and raced. GOOD TIMES!!!!
See you all at Race #5!!!!
