US Champs sprint, blue.
Nice little area in Spokane, but felt like an anticlimax after the "proper" race yesterday. Never got into it, then took a massive tumble just before the tricky bit - it was the sort of area where you had to risk getting hurt to go hard. v.sore and bloodied for the rest - skin on your knees is overrated...
I guess the shorts didn't work so well.
Hot and very long. I was mincing down on the red course, which was quite far enough thank you very much. Heel giving little gyp except on rocky descents, only problem is lack of fitness/speed. Still, had a clean run which was enough to win red (M35-45, W21) by 30 sec from Joe Brautigam. Ran in shorts, which worked well.
Us Champs Middle M21, 20th.
Super sand dune area at Moses Lake. Bit like Braunton, but a much more interesting course. Unfortunately, self destructed running 17-16 and then losing the plot towards 21 (4-5 mins)
