Sea Otter TT
So far I've completed one of three races in three days. The format is very similar to Phoenix with a TT followed by short track and then cross-country on Sunday. Once again, the Luna ladies dominated with Katerina on the top of the podium with Georgia in second. Katerina is also an excellent hotel room chef and I'm trying to learn a thing or two from her--on the bike and also about vegetables. Well my TT, while not spectacular I'm happy about it. I placed 18th and fumbled a little here and there. The race lasted less than five minutes so it was pretty much an all out effort. The course had some tricky turns and I crashed a couple times pre-riding yesterday. Well off the bike things are going well. Yesterday I had the opportunity to visit the Fox Racing Shox factory. It's pretty incredible to see how complex it is to make a suspension fork. I also watched a machine bend the magnesium lowers of a Fox fork in all different directions trying to make it break. It didn't break. That's comforting. Well I've got some homework to do now. Until later.
