mtbike race (orienteering race) 2:00:00 [3]
SO much fun in my first athletic event since last March. My knee was so bad all summer and my hands have been pretty bad too. I have been able to bike as long as I don't go for too long or days in a row. So it was great to get out this morning with a number of other avid outdoor enthusiasts in wet but very warm conditions in the lull before the storm that was forecast for later. Bash's course was well done and the Stars did a great job with results etc. I had a scare 1/2 way through the course when my handle bars sudden;y slipped forward. The nuts came loose. A very nice man named Kevin let me have his allen keys which I needed to use a couple of times to re-tighten the bars. Bit unnerving on very slick leaves and roots today., I did go down few times on slippery spots. Kevin got the pumpkin loaf I won - seemed only fair since I couldn't have finished without his tools. I did keep the beautiful coaster-medal that Mike crafted for the event. The "medals" must've taken painstaking hours to cut and then etch images into. Thanks!!
