after 2 months of not racing (i'm not counting Road Provs...) we started it up again at the annual Rocky Beat You Up Course of Buckwallow.... although this year there was enough rain to halt pre-riding on the Saturday, which was fine for me but stressed out Luke a bit....
the usual fast start on the LOOOOONG double track section was a sure way to get some sand in your teeth and realize the benefits of Drafting....
was feeling pretty good (HR was still hanging a bit low after a week of little top end intensity) but rode well and felt confident on most of the course.... the long and tough West Denial section proved to be the toughest technical and physical challenge
broke away with Martindill and was thinking of Attack Locations when I messed up a short, wet, rooty climb half way around the last lap and gave him a gap.... all he needed to hold me off ... will need to work on a few things before Provs to ensure no mistakes and good legs...
