A day at Rim Nordic
Before I even put my number plate on I was bleeding.
The chunk of tree I pulled from my knee.
As i was leaning my Bike against a tree I turned around and stepped on a tree branch that popped up and stabbed me in the knee. So I had to bust out the first-aid kit and do some minor tree removal from my knee. Thats how my day started. Other than the bleeding and stiff knee it wasn't that bad of a day. I had a terrible start with no power in the legs up the first climb. The train left without me but instead of going into auto pilot mode I kept at it. I finished 6th out of 9. Not to bad. I made one pass on the first lap and three passes on the 3rd lap but one guy caught back to me at the first water station and i couldn't keep up. If i could have it would have been 5th. I didn't have the best lap times but my body worked with me at this one. All and all I felt pretty good and it was a fun day;-)
Instead of Pre riding the course on saturday I decided togo up to the Santa Ana River Trail and enjoy some fun single track to clear the mind and cool water crossing to escape the I.E. heat
COld mountain water 
I just wanted to jump in

Veeze!
Was fun to see you on Sunday. I think I will do Expert SS next time. :) 3 laps will be tough though! OUCH!
I didn't hear you HECKLING ME, you are lucky ;) I felt BAD, didn't know what to expect. Was just sort of riding my bike :) Wish they still combined Sports/Experts SS!
