Saturday:
- The course was around a high school campus and consisted of a ton of steep run ups and downhills (which were also very steep). Each lap you went over two barriers, around a running track, and down both long jumps and through the sand pits at each end.
- I got 1st place in womens B, out of a pack of 1. Also, I won a nice pair of sunglasses with 4 different pairs of lenses. Casey and James also did well, 1st and 2nd in the 10-14 field
- My camera caught a great video of Jos crashing into the barriers on one lap and it is already on youtube.
- I did not crash at all during the race but managed to go over the handle bars while playing around afterward. Luckily, nobody saw it ☺.
- The course was about the same as saturday, just going in the opposite direction. All of the down hills of the day before were now excruciating run ups and vice versa. They did add in a voodoo spiral ( or death spiral, everyone had different names for it). Basically, you went around in circles, getting closer and closer and then all of a sudden, you do this quick little turn in the middle and ride out, not once crossing your path. It's really weird at first but cool.
- On sunday I actually had some competition but I still beat her by a good distance at the end of the race and won myself a nice Rudy Project (pronounced Pro-jé in my world) helmet. There was also another junior 10-14 who got second, Casey won 1st and James in 3rd.
- Brent did an amazing crash, landed on his head and cracked his helmet. He said he was somewhat dizzy but shaped right up when we told him that JP could drive him home.
- That night we went to the Dixie Grill for a great dinner, consisting mostly of their famous fried chicken. Jos made everything complicated by asking for an extra chicken tender so the waitress said that he could look off the kiddie menu instead and she even brought him one of the those playschool toys that you get with a happy meal. He was ecstatic.
