Racee

Well, so much for the race huh. I took a little joy ride off the trail. I was following a kid, and he went straight when we were suppose to turn. So I followed him, and he started to pull away, and I could no longer keep up. So I was on my own, I made it to a dirt road! I went down that for about 7 miles, and then I turned back. Went down the other side of the dirt road for about another 2 miles. I had no idea where the race was anymore. I ran out of water, and I look down and see a crystal clear ckreek, and I go down and fill up my water bottle. Finally, I figure, I should just start to back track. i go back about 6 miles and hit the trail. I had nothing left, I mean nothing, until a few bikers past me. It was the best feeling to see bikers again. ha. I started the race at about 10:15 A.M. and did not pass the finish the race until about 4:30 P.M. ha, It was a long day. I took a pretty hard spill too. Split open my arm pretty deep, and long. But I learned my lesson. I guess. but yet, I look back and I had funn. It was a training day for me. haha. I like to say that, the 10 miles was not enough-I needed and extra 30! They way I look at it, I wanted a longer and more fun ride. haaha, Well hope for better next race.
