bigger problem was that my head was not really in the game... unwilling to really suffer and dig deep... not sure why but that's the way it rolls sometimes....
tough course with some tough climbing and a tough grunt run up... the young Kids were riding it but i opted for running.... not easier just safer....
had a great start hitting the single-track in 4th spot.. Peter Mogg took his gap quickly (expected) and we had a decent group of 4 chasing... a fair number of dabs with slippery corners that shattered out group while 2nd and 3rd got away.... was riding well in 4th until "Hey Barnes... we started pretty hard.... time to recover..." Matt from Ottawa pulled through and raised the pace with 2 to go and i just let him walk away from me.... that's the lack of Head Focus that i'm still upset about....
rolled in 10sec behind Matt and 12sec ahead of Tristan.... kicking myself for letting them go and not digging deep... Excuse #1 - The legs were flat ... Excuse #2 - The head was out of it today..... Excuse #3 - 3 times up the hill each lap made it tough.... Excuse #4 - i was saving my energy for yelling at the Elite race...
