I woke up for this race & knew another hot race was on order for today.Thankfully Hillside is shaded from the sun,but that's not going to give much reprieve from the thick sticky air.
When I arrived I went about the usual routine of signing up & getting ready.
Warming up(although this was unecessary given the heat,it was trying to stay cool)The body felt ok,but it's hard to make any predictions.The "warm up" consisted of spinning easy a couple times down the road & staying in the shade.
It was time to line up so I settled in 2nd row.The countdown came & we were off.The start went off & was tucked in 5th or so behind my bro.Up the "big hill" he let me by.As we came to the top turn around I witnessed Scotty go OTB as he tried to go around Devin on the inside.I spoke to him later & he said "there was nothing he could do when he saw those rocks".At the bottom of the hill & back on the road it was Brendan off the front with a gap & Berry,Heath,& me chasing.Somehow I managed to bridge up to Brendan before the singletrack so I was going to try to hold his wheel as long as I could.I knew he was recovering from the start but I was stuggling to stay with him.He eventually found a groove & slowly walked away until he was eventually out of sight.
Shortly after I saw Jack coming up on me so I slowed to let him by.As he passed he said"I was riding the singletrack better than he was".I had to laugh because it was him who was passing me.I gave him the "atta boy!" & sent him on his way to chase Brendan down.
From that point on I was in no mans land so I put it in cruise control trying to drink as much as I could wherever I could.In the end I came in 3rd overall.Big thanks to Jonell for handups.I couldn't have survived without those bottles.

Nice job riding by everyone. Thanks for representing so well!
