Talk about hot. The temps were up that day. Momentum showed up in force in the beginner class. All three podiumm spots were taken by the team that day.
The course was a mix of rocky chunks, roots, and smooth fast soil. All in all, it was a fun day. The temps climbed near 100 degrees. Pre-riding the course helped out a lot on conservation of energy. The big climb at mile 4 or so was in my mind and I knew what pace I wanted to ride. Michelle was there for the team, supplying fresh, cool, water bottles after the first lap.
Two laps, Keith took home the gold. I was two minutes off while Jay wrapped up third. A super fun day. The heat was near unbearable but it was a good lesson in how the body works under stress.
