15 minutes.....

Here is the big finish, I can relax a little with no one in sight

The fam and I headed up to Logan to race the crit and visit with sis, of course we were running late on my watch but that always happens when you got the fam rollin with ya. I got a 30 minute warm up on the course and felt like crap. The race starts I feel like crap, I'm thinking, "what a waste of a drive and my day coming up here", but 20 minutes into it something turned the switch in my legs to, ITS ON! I took a couple good pulls up front and led for a few laps then made my way back to the back of the group to chill. With about 15minutes to go the group slowed down on the hill and I just lit it up! I got a good jump and looked back and the group was just watching me roll off, so I hit it even harder, after 3 laps I had 40 seconds. Now I'm thinking its all or nothing because I am either going to blow or take this thing solo. I had 15 minutes of pain in my future. I would hit it hard on the hill and the top were the group would slow and rest on the downhill section of the course. There were a lot of people and by the end they all knew my name from the announcer and were cheering me on. I kept drilling it on the climb lap after lap until finally I get 3 to go, 2 to go, and finally 1 to go. I drove it home hard on the last lap and did the whole zip up the jersey and throw the hands in the air for the big win.........I still had the 40 seconds, what a way to win a race. I took home a $40 preme and $120 for winning so it turned out to be a great day on the skinny bike.

I got in a 4 hour bruiser on the fat tires with AJ and Johnny Mac this morning, AJ was killing me as we did the millcreekcrestmidmountain loop. It was great fun and I even rammed my hand into a guys stem coming down littlewater....ouch.
