JB's Adventure Blog: July 2006

First rule for saddle sores is an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I am currently putting in tons of effort to get rid of one pesky guy that after healing over has turned into a sub cutaneous cyst. The anti-biotics helped but I am left with a bother some hidden reminder of why you have to take all prevention seriously.

Any how the reason I didn't race the Wilderness 101 should be pretty obvious. I guess I will do it one year.

In other news Shonny V is putting together some Pro's pre race jamms for a IMBA fund raiser. You can find out more in a few weeks on www.charitymix.com

Well that's all for now I gota go mow the grass before the heat index gets over 105 degrees.

Later yall.

Good stuff.
A Record turn out and record course time at the Off Road Assult on Mt Mitchell this weeked.

Close to 400 racers made the start but with 11,000ft of climbing cramed into only 55 miles and tricky rooted trails it became an impossible test for some to pass.

After a tough first hr of climbing and trails we hit a long section of road where the race congealed into a lead group consisting of Charlie Storm (Inland Construction BTD), Sam Koerber, (Land Rover/Cannondale) and Thomas Turner (Bare Naked/ Cannondale) and me. On the massive final ascent to Mitchel 40 miles in Charlie Storm burried the needle droping the inpired Turner. I droped the hammer as soon as he slowed on the blue ridge parkway to make the separation that would stick to the finish some 15 miles away.

Promoter; Todd Branham was surprised to see the new course record of 5:08 (seven minutes faster than last year) and offered a 500 dollar bonus to any one to beat the new standing record for the Assault on Mt Mitchell. Thats $1000 to a new record!

There was alot of talk at this race about the upcomming 100 milers, the Wilderness 101 and the Shenandoah 100 it seems like the the endurance bug has really bitten.

See ya at the wilderness 101.

Our team pulled thru in a big way this week-end. Go team Trek VW.

Sue shocked some of the best riders in the biz by attacking shone with 2 to go for the stars and stripes. I attacked the short track like never before and smoked a 2nd place and worked some team tactics with Ross on his way to 4th. Travis won the USA marathon title with Chris in Silver. Rad Ross was bustin moves in the Super D and narrowly missed the top honor (Adam Criag defended). Bruce and Tamara both won there age groups!

In the XC I was up against the La lakers cycling team of Ryan Trebon and Wicks on a course that would be as good on golf cart as on your cross bike. Wow who would a thought Ryan and Barry would be US national Champions at CX and short track?

The big guys pulled some suburb road tactics but I was ready to pull out the game face untill I cramped like drunken orangutan.
Oh well 3rd is better than ever and I knew I could have won this one. Next year it is Mt Snow!! It's on!

Hunter gave some good pep talking this weekend and well all of his athletes did great! He had my mind turned on killing it in the short track even though my legs felt like panty hose full of mashed potatoes from Fridays cramps.

So now Erin and I will head back home for some good ice cream.

See ya at Kleins.

Later now get off the web fun-seekers, go hit it like Babe Ruth!

Yowza!

Well the good news is i found my legs finally and pulled out a nice race. 7500ft here at XC 4 high in the Wasatch Range so the pacing was critical. JHK took off on the first hill and Ryan Trebon followed. I was like, later fools. I would blow like Vesuvius if i followed so i held pace with Kabush and Rad Ross. It was awesome to see Ross rocking the top 5 boat. After we passed a floundering Trebon Ross actually went up the trail in persuit of JHK! The pace caught up to him and he faded to a honorble 10th. I battled with Kabush the who last lap for trail supremacy I owned the reigns until the nail biting last decent. But blew it because I thought it was in the books and got nipped at the line! RATS. Let it be the fuel for the fire.

I think things are about to heat up soon.

Stay tuned
