Fought the wind on the W&OD for a few hours on another banner day. Then hooked up with Bill for a great bike fit on the Émonda. New Shimano shoes for the year...same as my carbon XC shoes but the Road version. Powertap pedals should be in tomorrow.

Couldn’t pass this day up and headed out to Eliz Furnace with Anne for the Figure 8 of Hate. Love. It’s amazing how much I hated this trail as an adventure racer and how much I love it as an MTBer.

Monster Cross. 2nd place behind Lauren Cantwell, who was off the front from the start. Good battle with Libbey and Kelly all day, mostly trading work with Libbey. Kelly went with the open men when they passed us and blew up a bit after lap 1. She stayed right behind us for the rest of the race. I got nervous in the last 10mi that she would wait til the finish and blow by us. I sat up a few times and slow pedaled to recover/see if she would pass which never happened. With 1.5mi to go, I took off on a good punchy climb and shut the door on the 2 of them. Feeling strong today. Plenty of rematches with Lauren coming up this year.
