Event: MNOC Adventure-O
 

fun and hard race! with Andrei, Dave S, and Jason N racing as gearjunkie.com. set a fast pace from the start but could not shake GearJunkie/WEDALI. finished in 1st by only 4 minutes or so. it was a hot day for MN but reasonable for MO so I was able to help the team more than normal. left ITB still angry, but only 800mg ibuprofen calmed it down. race report here: http://silkychrome.blogspot.com/2012/07/race-repor...

thanks to Linear Ice for her spectacular hosting, even while not feeling 100%!!!

Event: Alpine Shop Dirt Crits #3
 

warm up at Dirt Crits.

dirt crit race. finished 4th but probably had my best race so far, caught sight of laura in the last lap and was clawing my way up. getting closer to the fast girls! im also learning how to "race" these better, the key is to get a great start, not accept staying behind people, be aggressive in your passing, and mentally tell yourself that the next girl is "right around the corner".

easy spin to Alpine Shop and back.

i am more sore/beat up than i realized from the last few days. upper body all sorts of tight. mysterious bruises on hips/knees. i did crash a few times but they didn't hurt that much at the time. mtb is way more work than road!
