Wors - Iola round one

The season started this weekend in Iola. For me a lot of new things were in store; Elite class, first mountain bike race, and first race on a rigid fork. In all it was a good weekend. I'm happy with my results. I will take them as they come this year and try to learn as much as I can about my riding and were I can improve. I would give you a big run down as to how the race went but I don't really have it all clear in my head. Basically, there was about 5 crashes do to operator error and a improper choice on tires or pressure by the operator (more so error in judgment). I was strong on hills, and my mental state was good, but slower in single track. Like I said it will be a learning season for me. Why was I slow in single track? We will work on that, but it may have some thing to do with the amount of time I spend on that skinny tired road bike I have (4 hours today). Either way I leave you with some Rusty's photo's and my father.
