Shuda bin dere and because it makes me faster

If you didnt make it out to the Friday night TOFU circuit race Friday night, you missed out on one hell of a show. I was like a little kid watching the team cars and motorcycles fly by, and the racing of course was great too. I have never seen a race this big in my life. Thanks to D-oza, the fam and I scored some sweet reserved seats with the KJZZ crew right at the finish with free Bajio food and Wasatch beer. I hope this race just gets bigger, but then again if it does, that makes it really hard for me to race it one day.

Here is DH breakin it down for the fellas after the finish. Great job hanging in there DH. Its got to be hard to compete with a bunch of guys that race for a living and are constantly doing stage races. It will be good to have him back in the Porcupine blue next week.

On another note I decided to race today at the Wolf Creek Road Race, why you ask? Because it will make me faster I tell myself. Punishing myself over a mountain with 3200 ft of climbing twice for a total of 6400 ft is not the smartest thing I can do but if it makes me faster its worth it. We started out blazing and almost caught the 1/2 group who left 10 minutes before us on the first climb. Our group was shattered on the first climb. I managed to stay with the skinny boys for most of the climb and caught them quick on the downhill. The group was down to 6 of us and we worked pretty well until the turnaround to head back up. I got blown of the pace halfway up the climb coming back and just tried to keep a good pace and limit my losses. I ended up taking 4th and more importantly in the "over 170lbs class" I took the gold! This was by far the hardest race of the season. There was more than once on the climb back that I thought my mind was going to shut down and I was going to end up passed out in the weeds somewhere.

I am seriously suffering at this point. The race was supposed to be 84 miles and that is what my speedo said at this point. I was reaching hard for the finish. I think we I ended up with just under 90 miles in just over 4 hours. Luckly BadMF came from behind to give some much needed help to the finish. Now I am suffering just trying to get up stairs because my legs are totally destroyed.
