Battle for the prize.
Man sundays big event was tough, the 38 mile Sea Otter Classic XC. A lot of crashes, attacks and brutal dust swirling winds made the race seem even harder than I knew it was. I fought the good fight though and was rewarded. Thought I was suffering bad and losing energy on the last lap I stuck it out. After I got dropped by Frishy, Toulose and Barry Wicks I figured my GC would slip away into the teens but I held off Chris Snedon (Kona) at the line and it was just what I needed for 10th place. Not shabby. All in all it was the most fun I have had at Sea Otter yet.
Erin and I enjoyed a great team dinner at Monterey Joe's with the Trek/VW team. We had some special guests including Bontrager's own product managers and engineers including Matt Prest, Bill Miller, Tyler Philger (last years team manager), T-Brown, John Mobily from Volkswagen, ZaP and Walker Ferguson. I was really surprise to see Walker since he has been off the radar for some time. I think he is going to do some late season races. And it was allso really cool to talk tech with the product guys.
Sea Otter has so much going on I would love to be there as a spectator but even then it would still be imposible to take it all in.
Enjoy the ride.
