Wolf Ridge
Well, it has been a while since I had anything worth posting so I will catch things up quickly. I went to the National at Sugar and had one of the worst performances ever. I went up the week before and practiced and had some great runs. Race day came, I did one practice run and felt terrible. Got to my race run and made it through the top half of the course fine then blew it in lizards lane. For some reason I felt terribly fatigued and got sloppy coming off the trail a few times and finishing 6th....out of 6.
So last weekend the Wolf Ridge Downhill and Slalom races were taking place. A brand new course on a new side of the mountain. Ryan did a great job of putting a great event together. The course was totally different from others in the area being completely loose and dusty...west coast style. Came up to pre-ride Friday and got a few runs in and was feeling good about the course. The racing was starting fairly early Sat. so I just got 2 full runs in before the race.
I ended up having a great run with just one or two slow spots but overall was clean! Had a finishing time that put me in 3rd place for the 30+ Am class with the top three all within a second! Finally! A good run this year!
