Randomguy Posted September 8, 2015 Share #9 Posted September 8, 2015 Yay! The first couple would seem like proof-of-concept events for me, I wouldn't be so ambitious until I got the lay of the land.Congrats on getting acclimated without crunching bones or souls or somesuch!

Dirtyhip Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted September 8, 2015 how far out of 1st place time wise?They only list position. I don't think I was too far back. I had closed the gap on some girls, but they opened it back up towards the end of the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had closed the gap on some girls, but they opened it back up towards the end of the race.I hope you realize I'm not being critical, but rather being curious of how tight the competition was in your class. I've seen races where the winner is sandbagging, and competing below where they should, just to get the glory of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted September 9, 2015 Share #19 Posted September 9, 2015 That's pretty sad.Congrats on your finish DH.It's pretty common out here. I usually race the open beginner class and there are always 10-20 guys in team kit who just kilt it. It does make one wonder why these guys who are finishing 10 minutes ahead of the rest of the field are in this particular race but I don't sweat it. Nice job DH! You rock! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
