The four lap times tell the whole story: 36 minutes, 36 minutes, 43 minutes, 50 minutes. You could say that I cracked out there and it would be an understatement. Two strong laps had me in the top 30 and feeling great. Not long into lap three and my body tuned against me with an angry stomach, hot feet, a gook bonk headache – the lights had gone out. For some reason I decided to complete my fourth and final lap which turn into a desperate act of completion as I could hardly make it up some of the hills. This put me into more hurt than I’ve experienced all season. I’m somewhat recovered so I’ll give it a go today in the STXC. At least it can’t go any more poorly than the XC did. Awesome rides were had on the parts of Jenna Zander 9^th, Chloe Forsman 12^th, and Jen Gersbach 14^th in the pro women’s XC. Mike Phillips did the sea level folks proud with a strong 6^th place ride in the Semi Pro XC with a time that would have had him top 30 pro men. Nice riding,
