The
start of the mud bath @ 9:00am, with rain all night. Jeff and Owen
lined up and headed up the hill into the woods. Jeff raced the marathon
and Owen raced the kids comp.
Owen
rocked the course in 35 minutes and a 4th place, he was on his rigid
Salsa running a set of knobbied 1.85 tires. He said it was fun and he
stayed upright the whole race.
The young guns slayed the mud course and cleaned up for the awards.
Hangn' with the youngster is a good time, wearing a few of my items, hat and vest watching for his dad.
Jeff
coming out of the woods after the rain stopped, the clay, mud was
thick. At the beginning of the race with the rain, the trail was in good
condition with the wet conditions. Lap times were about 20 minutes, 3rd
lap was about 30 minutes and the 4th lap was about 40 minutes. Got a
bit thicker and sticker as it dried out. Then with a brief rain shower,
the trails improved and the laptimes dropped to about 30 minutes, then
once again slowed as the mud thickened. Jeff and Heath were together on
the last 2 laps. Heath edged Jeff by about a minute.
OK...it was a mudder this day.
The race tent camp. Nice to have a roof over your head in this weather.
