First Race
matt | December 1, 2008What a busy couple of days. I raced Saturday morning for the first time this year. My goal was to get a top 10 but I just missed with a 16th place. I had not skied the entire course so I didn’t save enough in the tank for the last big uphill… I didn’t feel the altitude until I made it about 1/2 way up the last climb and then the wheels came off. Going out too hard and dying is a very painful way to race but I was still happy with the effort.
I was going to race this Tuesday in Bozeman but the race isn’t happening because there is no snow. My team is headed to Canada for racing and I will do a few races in the Midwest.
The day after the race Garrott Kuzzy and I biked into Yellowstone National Park. It was a blast and I will post pics when I get a chance.
Here is the pic Grant sent me before I raced.
