I put the hammer down for the first bit of the race because 1. it was mostly uphill 2. it was fairly smooth 3. I figured it was as good a time as any to get a good gap...
Worked out great until I hit the first down hill...which was rocky... and dusty... and a little scary for this newbie. I know all these real mountain bikers keep telling me to get off my brakes and it will feel safer...but really? I don't know....
Needless to say I lost a some ground on the downhills and there were some close calls! Finished 4th for SKINourishment p/b Paceline Projects and had an absolute blast!!!
