SS race went well. I didn't pedal that much throughout the race, I tried saving something for the open race and wasn't feeling good from the inatub tacos. They were good tacos, just not good to race with.
I had 1 guy with me for the whole race, there were a few fast ss guys but we left them with 3 to go. I lead the whole race until the guy attacked with about 1k to go, I was on his wheel, had more momentum going into the 2nd to last turn, flew by him on the barrier, then sprinted to win. I keep the jersey. I'm ks resident, so no bonus mo jersey.
The open race went good for a while. I was leading for a bit, then was in 3rd for a while, then holding on to 4th real strong. I started crashing. I crashed a lot. Every time I tried to clip out I crashed, really hard crashes. Finally I realized me cleat was loose and decided not to crash or race hard. I am super sore, worse than jingle cross. Crashing in the sand wasn't too bad but crashing at both sets of barriers at fast speeds sucks.
I'm not pedaling hard until my birthday(december 26). Hopefully I'll have a 29er ss built up soon. The word is 22/13 is the perfect gearing. Way more contact spots, way more consistent power output.
