My 12 hour race wrap-up goes a little something like this: conditions were brutal. Muddy, slippery, loose, slimy... You name it. Started the first four hours of the race strong while pacing Justin Sotdorus. The pace was a bit aggressive and i started having cramp issues in legs and lower back. Because of this i was feeling bonky from hours 4-6. It was at this point i decided i had to turn the remainder of the race into "maintenance miles". Slow and steady is all i had in me.
I had plenty of things to think about during my 12 hours, here are some of those thoughts: Jaime Wright showed up to pit for us looking like a hottie... I thought to myself she looks good, too bad I'll have zero energy or ability left to do anything about it. Then i thought about silly stuff such as why is a zebra called a zebra or why do us crazies do these events time and time again.
Special thanks to Fatmarc who put it on a helluva race, Jaime and Cam for all the time spent helping pit us and for snapping lots of pics. Rich and Julie for stopping by to root me on. Justin and Jared for strong team support and bringing some goodies.Randy Dabler(Trestle Bridge Racing) for helping to keep me sane when sane was needed.
Justin ended up second in the 12-hour solo and i ended up fifth. Two podium finishes... Not to bad from that nuts Nuts About Granola Racing Team / Keystone Velo Racing XC boys.As of right now I can say I won't be doing that race again but anyone who know me knows I'd be lying. Bring it on Granogue 2014... Just please be dry...
