spirit mnt. round 2

today was the cx race at spirit. a rematch of me and the mountain from this summer.
the A race was massive. and i managed a top 10. and won the a2. haha! by massive i mean 9 people.
the course was decent. a long climb with a barrier in the middle then some gravel then trail then gravel. the first two laps i felt pretty good. keeping up pretty well. on the 3rd lap i was running up the hill next to sean and my legs just all of a sudden quit. i dont really know much else then, they just simply did not want to work. that was at about 20 minutes. then next 20 minutes i felt like crap. then at 40ish my legs decided to work again. kinda strange. but it was too late sean had already gotten 2 minutes on me. but i held strong and might have even gained back a bit of time on him by the end. but dont know for sure.
hopefully next race i will feel good the whole time. i think part of the problem today was that i had not ridden for two days prior to racing. wont do that again...
my parents got some good pictures but the computer here at home cant download them for some reason. ill put them up when i get back to school.
