2nd in PRO kick'n Texas: Mud Fest

Fo-Shur - I've healed from all those endurance and double race daze of late. It's been hardcore ever since Leadville100 SS. Off the bike for near a week and look what happens..... Went to Texas on biz. Shipped the tent, bag and SS for an after work southern bike play time. Austin(Bryan). Camped all night in rain. 9:00 AM race. Biked in 1-3 inches of mud w/ 1 to 12 inches of standing water, roots & all the goods. Red, Black, Brown - all varieties of mud. No lie. 2hrs & 24min later the SS 36x17 helped me place 2nd in PRO & overall, a mere minute behind Texas circuit leader(Rick W ranked 20th USA XC). He got the hole shot, then wiped in 12 inch water pool, then I led, then he went ahead to show the way. I stayed yo yo'ing behind, reeled him within 15 seconds late in race but couldn't bridge. 2nd & money. All good!
