race report...
This course was amazingly fun and very HARD!! They started you out on a rocky fire road with an S bend into MUD!! You rode in the mud across a field and then did a 180 and came back across in the same mud...into a techy downhill,180 around a tree,then up a rocky climb along some stairs...the stairs were fun during the race because of all the people!! Then it went over some barriers, past the pit, and down a super-sketchy rooty-muddy downhill into a wide open fireroad section...out of the fire road you went over some woopdy-doos, which was amazing at 100 MPH!! Then back into off-camber grassy mud, uphill on a paved road, a short descent into a horrible rock-stair run-up, and then around some nice hard pack back to the finish...
I felt good during the B race, started well, got dropped by Todd and Mike, and just kinda rode my own race, no mechanicals, no falls, I ended up 12th out of 30 something, just in the top half...Placings from the guys that ride on Wednesday night...Mike got 3rd, Todd got 5th, Tom Mains got 6th, I got 12th, Mark got 14th I think, Don DNF'ed...Farmer Andy won the C race, and there were also tons of other Rutgers kids in the C race as well but I don't know where they all placed...
Good times, next up, Augusta...
