9.9 on Time
I had a good short track...a break thru even... go figure. It only happens when I least expect it, or when I am most tired from the XC. I actually was on the lead group on the final lap and saw the move go. I kind of choked and took a bad line while trying to punch it on the last hill to move up. Decker swung the berm of the four cross course a bit wide and so did I. The sick part was the top 6 of us where totally berming out the steep back going uphill! Rad!. Then we traversed a bit and did this really sketchy rocky powdery shoot down to a few sweepers to the finish 50 m. The course was tough but also tactical.
I was elated and disappointed at the same time. This is a really good sign that I have the speed for Madrid. The being off the box by one spot.. that is just more motivating for next time!
The kids race was really fun two. The dust proved difficult for them as it was for everyone else this weekend. I had to pick this tike's bike up for him because he stacked it. It was kinda good to hand him his bike back so as to distract him from the actual wreck. "It works for me when I am about to cry after doing a header".
All in all Fontucky wasn't too bad. Not the mountain views we have gotten used to at the NORBAs, but really good racing and a boost in new attendance that the circuit needed.
Over and Out!
