Metro 12 hr

I made it thru another 6 hr solo in WI. 7th place out of 22 so I feel good on the results.Hills,Hills,Hills and that sums up this race,the hills were killer steep and nice and long,the only way I can look at these races are as training races.My next one needs to be 12 hrs I need to see if I doing 24 hrs is going to be possible.Tha race went well and food was good with the Hammer gels and drinks and e/caps.I met Jeff finally I read his blog every day I feel like I know the kid,his dad is a nice guy and is there for his support crew. The 11 laps were a good pace for me and wonder how much I could have done at a slower pace but for 12 hrs ? I 'll see if I can make the Hatfield race . I need a recovery ride tomorrow I have the 2nd PAMBA race next weekend it'll be tough. see ya !

I should be ready for the race.Cindy and the girls are going up with me Friday and we are going to stay in Gurnee and shop for the night.I better stay off my feet .Bike is all ready to go, i'll pack thursday, witch reminds me I need to get some Hammer gel tomorrow.I'll post back after the race !!

Kickapoo Race

Was last week and it was my first DNF ,but it's early in the season I hope it's my only one.I took a bad endo at the top of a small 6 ft. hill ,my pedal hit a stump and over I went and landed on my back and head. I'll live but I talked myself out of finishing the last lap,I wish I would of done it. I'm waiting for Tony to come out for a road ride today ,we have a road race in June to get ready for.I'll be going up to Wi. next Saturday for the 12 hrs of Metro I'll do 6 hrs solo again and then my next race in need to go 12 hrs. I'm looking at the NRS 1 or 2 for a 2nd. bike ! I love my Razorback I don't know if I can give it up. I'm going to get a quick nap in before I ride today See YA !!

I'll get back

To this post tomorrow , I seem to never have the time !!!!!!!!!!

6 hr race !

Well I just got back from turkey hunting and no turkey for me this year I had fun but I couldn't call a couple in close enough to get a shot today. I did my first 6 hr solo at Kettle mer. Saturday, it went well I got 11 th out of 33 so I'll take it. I don't think some of the riders were to serious some only got 2 or 3 laps. I went out hard with the main pack for the first lap and into the second then I had to start pacing myself a little better. When ever some one would come around me I would stay with them for a while to keep me going. My legs cramped up at the start of the 4 th lap and I had to walk it off for around 5 min. then I was okay and I slowed down and acually felt pretty good on the 5th and 6th lap.I need to find out why I'm cramping I need more training and some kind of supplement.I used the Hammer Heed ,Perpetuem and gel ,I don't think I used the perpetuem right I'll checkwith some other racers. the next Wems. race I can do is May 28th, I'm looking forward to it, 6 or 12 ? I'll see how training goes.
