20th Annual Tidewater MTB Challenge!!!

The Tidewater MTB Challenge was fast & fun. Everyone else did the CX races in Richmond, but we did see representation of Tripower, to include Tim Starkey. Can you tell which race Tim did? He was so good, he almost lapped the last guy, not to mention was a few minutes ahead of the next person. It's all good, he was there to have fun, not win by a longshot. I was so proud of him when he explained turning off the course just before the finish to give 1st place to the real winner :) My race was good with 10 women. I held on as best I could & finished up in 6th--a far cry from the winning steak I had with that race in the past few years. You win some, you lose some...right? Riding my clipless pedals was my enemy today as well as a few leg cramps. So I need to do some rearranging: switch back to trail running shoes & flat pedals, ditch the camelback, take some quinine. (and don't stay up til midnight to buy the new Guitar Hero III the night before the race--rock on!) No major injuries to report :) Next up.... Trashmore cross race!!!
