Event: MNOC - Sunfish Lake Park
 

Great run at Lake Elmo. No mistakes other than a route or two that might have been faster a different way, and a minute or less bobble on CP 11 (on map A, which is 210 if I recall) that can be seen on the uploaded GPS data. My watch did not begin to pick up the GPS track until after the first loop, which is too bad. It's not my focus, I need to get better with it.

C • Great race! 7

warm up/control retrieval

A Long - Splits

Great start training drill and sprint courses at Battle Creek set by Todd. No women, so we went and just got totally crazy out there.

Full loop plus a little at leb with Dittmer and Chad and Grant. Except on difficult climbs, I feel stronger now than anyone I ride with, which feels good. I'm as strong on my mtn. bike now as I ever have been.

No Name Alleycat. Finally an alleycat with a route that was not too difficult for us non-messengers. Biz and I got the route planned out just before the 7PM start time. We had a great pace, and a nice tight route throughout the ride. We worked together into the wind, which helped on the long sourthern legs. I read clues, searched for the clues (which were all magic the gathering cards) and wrote stuff down while Biz did all of the nav on his map board. We saw the hipsters at most of the checkpoints, and had little idea as to whether we were in first or 10th. In the end, we rolled into Hell's Kitchen at 7:52 in first. 3rd, 4th and 5th all came between 2 and 5 minutes behind us.

It felt good to finally beat the hipsters at their own game. We won $80 cash and the rights to host the next one. BUT, I'll be in Sacramento with Kelly and Biz will be at Possum Trot. So,

Todd, you have to either get on the PT train, or help us! Please!

C • PT is second weekend in December... 1
