Back in my roadie days, I learned some very valuable lessons about pre-season racing and with each new season I find it incredibly important to test early season fitness “in the wild”, so to speak.
•
Nothing replaces the thrill and unpredictable nature of racing. You just have to do it to see if your preparation is solid!
•
JoyJoy, The Nugget, and I had a full plate at the @quickndirtymtb Throw-Down that included a large contingent of @bigwheelcoaching Athletes who were racing, as well as some new friends we had the privilege of mentoring, at our Pre-Race Skills Clinic.
•
Not to mention racing ourselves and then hitting some extra credit training afterwards.
•
It was a busy day to say the least!
•
At the end of it all I was pleased to bring home a hard fought 2nd place in the Open category I’m a sprint finish.
•
The racing was blistering and the competition was fierce, just the way I like it.
•
Next up is the @teambigbear.official SoCal Endurance 8hrs of Vail.

Thank goodness I have plenty of @chamoisbuttr on hand, I am going to need it this weekend!

Special thanks to @wildglassphoto for capturing a great moment I got to share with my Nugg on the podium.
