|   Sea Otter - brief recap | mikele
Mar 26, 2002 8:07 PM | | Been snowboardin like a maddog this season so I've been on my bike 4 times since NOV. I decided to do the otter with a buddy(more like a promise I had to keep). Signed up for my first MTB race in Sport and figured I'd giver a go. Well....we got there late and made a mad dash to pin my # on and sprint to the start...just to find out my pack had left 2mins before. I could see the tail end of them. The guy at the start said get going! So, the initial sprint I guess was my warm up. ha
Rode hard, made it hurt...had a BLAST! Probably the best part of the race was rippin the downhill singletrack and feeling a guy stuck on my tire. After all the bad vibes I got from all the OVERLY competitive(takin the fun out of it) guys on the climbs, I figured I'd just let this guy by. I said you want by? He said " No man, I'm just havin fun!" I grinned and continued with this guy all the way thru the long singletrack downhill, passin a few...both of us floatin on our 30+lb fullies.
Well, I managed to get thru it...sprinted the track(and didn't realize 2 guys were drafting off me..ha) and got 166 out of 211.
That was cool and I had a great time! I think I'll race again.
