That One Hurt

Yikes! Nothing like racing a 45 mile XXC race one week after a 100, on some borrowed marginal talent that I'm seemingly paying back at a STEEP interest rate. In other words, the Wayne Ultra threw me a Grade "A" beat down, but it still felt oddly arousing, I mean good.

Time for a little mid summer break from the races, and some sleep. I will sleep hard, but will probably be having nightmares about those fiendish switch backs. Then again, maybe I'll have nightmares about the sick & slick off camber sections, rocks, long climbs, humidity, and one, giant, cry on my bars hike a bike. Good stuff.

Race report n'at to come.

Later.

I was resting my head on my handlebars on that hiking section. The knee swelling has diminished, but promises to return. :(
