Easy Win at a hard price

Well, it was a very easy win for me this past weekend at the ky state championships in L-ville. I took an early lead and was soon passed by Amanda McKay . This worried me since she has some mad skill, however, she faltered a little in the first monster sand pit and I rode by clean, and easy. From that point on I had a big lead and took the win unchallenged by more than 2 minutes. Totally happy about this!  Especially since I don't even feel I got out of my zone 3 h.r.  The most exciting thing that happened was when I traumatized some poor man while he was trying to get in my port-o-pit. I forgot to lock the door and I was full blown in the middle of embrocating my butt. Sorry dude, therapy my be needed. 

Props to the other DRT pimps: Andy rocking a 4th in elite and Emily holding on for 7th in elite also on a muddy, fun coarse. I really love this venue and race late in the year.

The trip back was hell, traffic was like my Chicago days and I about went nuts. It took me seven hours to get home! That was not fun, but I guess the win made it a little better. Anyway, all that racing and travel sent my little upstart cold into a monster. After struggling thru work yesterday I had to come home and pass out. I had to miss my ride and that really ticked me off. So I am playing couch  and bed bum today trying to salvage what I can so I can be ready for Kansas City Nationals in a couple weeks.
