Farragut State Park MTB Race

So other than Washington Alpine Lakes backpaking trip with Duncan(below post), the whole family hung out in Idaho. A two week vacation, we had a great time! Swimming, relaxing, family fun, some local guided MTB'ing and even family MTB racing. Wednesday we all headed over to Athol, Idaho - Farragut State Park TT race. It was the 4th and final 2008 time trail race. Amy and Duncan had a great ride TT style. My race was very good too. My legs we're still way tender from the 65lbs pack and hiking. After getting beta from Aaron at the Sandpoint bike shop it was a 16t cog to go with the 34 ring. A good move. I started the TT a few minutes behind Aaron (cause she's fast). It worked, was able to catch the carrot and pass her. Motivated and ignoring my sore legs it was all good until my pedal broke 1/2 mile before finish!! With a nub a half inch to limp on finished as fast as possible. By what people we're saying...did I win? Ha ha ha, finally saw results days later, NOT. With pedal and sore legs ended up 2nd of single speeders, 5th of 91 overall. Not bad, quite happy given first time on trail. The trail was flat with a few climbs. Mainly open and very fast through old growth with multiple roads to hammer. 13+ miles. No awards, just shwag, food and very nice folks. I won a park tool pizza cutter but refused it as local racers deserve the goods. Regardless, all kid racers scored lights for their wheels so we we're set swag wise.... Buck Hill up twice this week, then Afton 2-4, Check out Murphy on Wednesdays and Hillside on Thursday's this month. Hillside rocks. Maplag Holiday weekend always the funnest race weekend of the year....
