Event: The Kick-Off (Gators) - O-Cup #1
 

warm-up and pitiful cool down. Ankle was sore before and after (and really sore in the evening after race) but no issues in the race.

fun O-Cup race at Kelso on a cool course designed by DD. Made a mistake going into the first box. I missed CP6 and had run a bunch to C before realizing my mistake. I was then in catch-up mode the entire race. Pushed hard early and caught AG! and was able to stick with Mick in the forest but lost big time on the trails. Caught the ARXers in the dogbones and then passed Andrei going into the 2nd box. I had the lead for about 15 seconds when I got a big piece of barbed wire strapped around my shoelace. Had to stop to get it out and then was 10s down on Andrei again. Closed that gap a bit but the long downhill on the skihill was too dodgy on my knee. Michelson brothers skipped through the box to take 1st and 2nd and I ended up 4th. Fun race.

Nice draw prizes, good food, fun in the snow. But that was nothing compared to being to the race in the Milton Toyota ARK mobile. #swag
