Our bikes were ready when we arrived, so we just changed shoes and were on the start line. This day started on a fire road and immediately headed into the woods. It was sunny, but had poured all night so the trails were pretty muddy still.
My start went pretty well and I was happy with my position as we started the first little climb. I moved out of line to make a pass, and had no traction and had to walk the rest of the little hill. I chased back onto the group and rode a good chunk of the rest of the day with these guys. On the last Enduro section I got to the front and ended up bridging to an Australian who was battling his hardtail. After the enduro we entered a section of road and he kindly pulled for most all of it. I cheated and went past as we entered back into the singletrack and I caught one more guy, he repaid the favor and drafted me all the way to the finish, but I held him off as we crossed the line.
19th on the day dropped me back to 20th overall. Wash bike, shower, and massage. Followed by a cheeseburger for a snack.
Our view out the front of the tent. That is ocean front.
This was camp for the night.
