Day 2 saw me being the first loser. The big fat 2nd place, bridesmaid. Damn bunny hopping barriers. I screwed up & killed any chances I had of winning early on. One of those days. Took a low speed crash warming up. Got a horrible start. Pulled my front brake cable hanger the first lap. Desperately needed a bike change. Couldn't change the bike or risk loosing the lead group I was in. Got to make a ton of mistakes on the course because of no front brake. I use it a ton since I normally load up the front wheel, which put me off my game and got in my head. On the final lap I had got away with the hopper. He had been gapping me at the barriers & I'd catch back on by the sand pit just before the finish. I took a bad line through the sand & got to watch first finish without getting to test out my sprint. Wrong tire pressure as well. Was at 39 psi should have been about 30-32, better yet should have been using Challenge Grifo Dries. Oh well that's a lot of excuses but I suck. Not the way I wanted to finish my last 3's race. Will post more later all for now.
What no podium girls? Hope you at least won some more beer.

Nice job! Way to battle adversity! Adapt and overcome, you would have made a decent Marine, but they would have had you eating double rations at every meal.
