yup, I'll be there, probably around 8. Make sure you know how to get, there. It can be a little confusing around Whittier (where my mom and I got lost).

I'm not at all in shape this month, but I'm getting better and better at descending and handling the bike, so I might get a worse time than I did last time.

See you there, look for a young kid with bronze helmet and red NRS.

We didnt see you out there thefarleft. Change of plans?

Anyways, I did todays race and it was fun. Jumped onto sport class for my first time and I placed first. I was a bit nervous about doing two laps but I somehow managed. The did change the course a little. The first concrete where you usually cross to get to the next one was where it changed. Instead of crossing it, you went down it so it cut about 1 mile from the course. Finished the two laps (14 mi) in about 1.29.

Darkest hour of my life

Got home at 12 and parents said no southridge this time.... too little sleep.


I will be there next time. I learned my lesson #-o .

Hey guys,

This was my first Southridge race. Man I have to tell you, there are some very talented guys out there. Met up with Trung earlier in the morning and he gave me a brief tour of the first mile or two of the course.

I had a great time. It was a hard course to do and I even threw up half way in because I really exerted myself. It's a great feeling to have completed it and I was able to finish strong because I caught my second wind towards the last few miles.

Here's a few pics.

Damn am I envious.

Going next time?

 

[imapodaddy]

SR

I won't be going next time. I'll be out of town for the weekend. But I wish I could.

By the way, how long does it take for them to post the results? I didn't stick around long enough to see what my time was.

You did pretty good, 2 laps!
Man I had a hard time with one. I even hurled on mile 5. #-o

But I did have a great time.
