TREMBLANT!!!! yes... that's right... this was another year when Tremblant beat me rather than me beating Tremblant.... we seem to have this strange Power Relationship that we need to resolve... i win one year... i flat and have to run in for 42nd spot the next year.... i win again... i run again.... and since i won last year.... Yup, i had to run this year..... Felt great on the course, had it pretty dialed and had a good start considering i start slow and the Frenchy's start fast... got myself into 2nd by half way through the first... BANG... big rock burps my rear tire... soft and squishy but i ride it to the feed zone and top it ... "OK Barnes... we can still catch them... there's another guy.... i think i see 2nd".... oops... small crash and a totally flat rear tire at the top of the downhill.... "Crap... here we go again...." So i run for about 3km on the rocks and bike path, change wheels and decide that i just can't be last... catching people, catching people, crash, catching more people, get taken down by a younger rider who doesn't know what "On your left" mean (i also said it in french) and i end up catching 5 guys and not finishing last .... YAY for ME!!!
so i console myself with some some chocolate pizza from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Shop... chocolate "crust", caramel for sauce and cashews for toppings.... mmmm... i feel better now....
so even though it was a Bad Luck Racing Weekend, it was still a good weekend hanging out with the team, doing the photo shoot and feeling good on the bike (when not running).....
Now i have some Fire Under My Tire for Hardwood..... Grrrrr.....
