WORS #2 Crystal Lake Classic

Once again I took to the mountain bike and headed up to Rhinelander for the second WORS race of the season. I was going to stay in Appleton with my cousins and drive up in the morning but unfortunately my mom had not been feeling well for a few days and so I ended up going with my coach Joe Maloney. We were a little behind schedule and arrived at 10:50 for my 11;30 race. It was tight but Joe got mu bike ready while I registered and got dressed. I did a short warm up and tried to open up the legs, they didn't feel ready to go hard but as it turned out they were! I rolled up to the start line and took my gel, Don did the count down and we took off, I went pedal to the metal and immediately took the lead and opened up a 25 foot gap on the field and stayed ahead all the way through the first couple miles of flat two track and got away even more as we hit the first big climb. From there I plunged into the single track and took off, I went full gas for my two laps and pushed as hard as I could. I was feeling great the whole race and ate up the single track and the hills, the trails were fantastic and I was hungry. It was a perfect combination and I won my age group and finally did get the Cat 2 Sport overall win! It was a amazing race and the entire race had been super fun and I was thirsty for more. Next up is Cam-Rock, my home course!
