3rd Place Finish

I did my first official race for the season and had a surprisingly good race. My training leading up to the race was random and not well organized. When it came down to it in the end I was within the same minute as the other two riders ahead. We were merely seconds apart. I started in the back of the starting pack and got stuck behind some guys that were not that technically skilled. I believe if I hadn't been caught up by them I would have had a 1st place victory. None the less it was fun and I received about $70 worth of swag. I made my entry fee back and then some. I will post some more pictures when I get a chance. I utilized my sponsorships the past several days leading up to the race and the day of. So with that I would like to thank GU for giving me the energy in my training and race day...Roctane Rules! I would like to thank FLUID for providing me with essential recovery, 2Wheellogic.com for the tool I use almost daily to keep my bike in excellent tune. Pimp Biker for some cool T-shirts, ODI for the best grips in the industry, Brave Soldier so I can ride daily without unwanted friction:), Rudy Project for technical eye wear that looks better than everyone else, and finally GOPro for the coolest camera I have ever owned. I filmed this entire last race which was cool so I could show my family that spectated and couldn't see what goes on in the woods. THANKS AGAIN TO ALL!
