Helmet Cam Footage from Smithville HERE.
Video of Dan. Absolutely no one else could do this, pretty awesome. If the link doesn't work go onto face book and search, "Dan riding a steep run up then taking money from a tree that grows it?"
No one expected as big of an open field. It was one of those days where everyone shows up thinking know one else would, I think there were 20 of us in the open and there was still a 2/3 race. I held on to 3rd for the first lap, then held onto 4th for 3 more. By now the whole doubling up racing single speed and not eating good got to me and I was in a bad mood. I road with 2 tradewind riders for a few laps, they finally shaked me and I got going really slow. Whenever I get to ride by myself there is no motivation, no carrot in front of me, no will to catch back on. I end up getting past a few more times and when I saw winkler 30 seconds back with 2 to go(his bell lap) I let another rider past to not ride any more for 10th place. I'm really happy with the way I was able to start and hold on for a few laps with Winkler, Travis, and Jensen in front of me.
I really need to start eating good. I've always been a fan of just riding really hard and learning "how to race." Now my body needs to learn how to go fast for a longer period of time.

Looking back at this I can pretty much say I ate like a retard. I'm going to try and make good changes before boss cross #3, got a 40 minute ss race into a 60 min. open race.
Can anyone believe this weather?
Dude drinking a chocolate milkshake after the race.
i ate half a leftover chipotle burrito, cold, before two of my better cross races this year. Swope and Manions. One was chicken and one was Barbacoa. Go light on the cheese and sour cream. allow at least 3 hrs to digest. it might sound crazy but it work's for me.
ReplyDeletei think a big, solid meal before your first race is important if you are going to double up. ckn and pasta works well too.
i like yogurt as a between race snack. lot's of carbs and easy to digest.

I'm a big fan of doing brown rice with olive oil and chicken. Seems to work pretty well and is dirt cheap.
ReplyDeleteOlive oil? What's that?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Nice diet, B. You kiss your wife with that mouth?
