You voted for 'shaved legs', and it WORKED!!!

I had my second Super D race in the series put on my Rim Nordic (www.rimnordic.com) and this one went much better. I think that knowing the course and improved fitness are what made the huge difference.

The first race I was last in my class and this race I was fighting for a podium finish and amazingly was quick enough for 3rd. I also cut two minutes off my time!! (which was my personal goal and as a reward I bought a neat t-shirt from the race)

This is a 4 race series, the person leading has only done 1 out of the 3 races so far. A total of 3 of use have now done 2 out of the 3 races. And one of the guys from today has already said he won't make the final race in the series....

So, if I place 3rd again in the final, I will probably be 3rd overall in points for this series!! Woo Hoo!!

(In the Racers and Chasers series I will probably end up 2nd or 1st overall in my class for the summer Super D series, with two races left in it.)

All in all I think riding more hills the past month, riding once in the week prior to the race at similar altitude (8,000 feet), better race craft, riding my dirt motorcycle, and just riding "better" all helped me move from 6th up to 3rd. Today I rode my hard tail Stumpjumper and if I can get to where I climb at the same rate on my Reign full suspension then I think I can pick up the extra minute I need to move up to second place the next race.....

My next race is Saturday the 15th at Cahuilla Creek MX park with the RacersandChasers.com group. (this is the Super D course I helped build and have already won on) Come out and see me!!
