| 2nd open men
Had a pretty good race, a bit slow right off the line but got into singletrack about 5th. passed everyone on the first gravel climb and rode away with matt treanor. he dropped me about 2/3 of the way around the first lap, tried to climb back on but didnt have the legs. stayed in second on a fairly stable pace for laps 2 and 3, was passed for a liittle while by 3rd buit stayed with him and repassed and rode away. it helped that he had a puncture after i attacked. legs were prety good, shins are pretty shit now though because the very muddy course needed a bit of running on the steep climbs. had no probs with my knees at all. pretty stoked with second though |

| rode out at whitford with carwyn, mike may and amanda to mark out tomorows race course. on and off the bike putting out tape but was going prety fast when i was riding. its a long course and prety technical. grim raker is in real good condition. found the change from full sus back to hardtail pretty easy. gave myself a fright early on when i tried to ride it lyk the idrive and nearly killed myself just missing a pile of trees at full speed! haha. riding drops and steep stuff easy by the end though. legs were pretty good, shins still shit |
