here's the short...
nat and cameron took off. steve and i chased. nat slowly built a lead with super fast laps, then lapped me shortly before nightfall.
steve and i were locked in battle in the approxiamte 92 degree heat. we went back and fourth several laps. shortly before nightfall, i passed him for the last time.
bad rain came in, they stopped the race at 2am, then added 4 hours to your time. that would be your start time. (for instance, steve got in at 2:06, so his start time was 2:06. i got in a lap ahead of him and got in at 3:10, so i went out at 7:10)
bonus for me here was that i got an extra lap in when it was dry - which was pretty crucial because conditions on the trail went from bad to worse. i would maybe go 100 yards, then would have to clear the mud off my bike so i could ride/push the next 100 yards. very tough riding - the type i like to say "builds character"...
when dry, the course was great - but muddy, jeez. i wish it would of just downpoured to thin the mud out.
with that, gotta catch a flight. pics up in the next day or two.
sologoat out.
