Kiwi POWER! 8th at WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS!
My body ached all over after this race, but man what a blast to be racing in the realm of the fastest racers on Earth. After a less than ideal start, I went for it on the first and second climb to push into the top 10. I was flying, I was also riding way to fast to sustain. The thing is the course is important to have position because it was cracking into the pieces from the very steep 1000 foot of climbing per lap and the sloppy off camber decent.
After 5 times up the mountain batting with the likes of Sir Bart Brentjins, Oli Beckingsale and Roul Paulison; I started to fade but was re invigorated by getting past by Fill-EPO Mierhage and Thomas Frischnect. I killed my self to beat Merhager but slid out on the downhill and lost a little time on the two warriors battling for the supremecy of team Clean VS. Team Dope. I was just behind them and to say they were fighting it out was true. Brian Lopes was yelling at Frichi "don't let that F@$^&n doper beat you!" It was awesome to see Frichi beat him and even though I was just behind, I did my best and almost blacked out from going SOOO hard! I crossed the line and was so pumped. What a great race and I was so happy Frishi pulled it off that I hugged him.
The result of eighth for me was good; in fact, I heard it was the best World Championships by a USA rider in 11 years. Awesome. The spectators where just killer and some even were singing the Team America theme song! I was really fun.
Now I must hibernate. I am totally wasted from the race.
Thank you to all who have helped support me; it has been a great season.
