    First ride next Saturday uh guys, good luck racing. Be fast, ride safe, have fun. My son raced yesterday. He moved up alot in positions, that was exciting. The best race he's had in 3 years of racing. There was 5 flat tires that I personally counted that passed me close to the finish line. A broken chain, a possible broken wrist, another crash that someone couldn't ride and was walking but was determined to finish the race. Another that ended up with a ambulance ride. Needless to say it wasn't boring.

    Good timing, I was just researching XC races (and gravel) in my area to see if I should give it shot.

    Training the mind instead of training the body. Good stuff.

    Pushing hard at those moments everyone else is resting has a huge psychological impact on your competitors. Cresting a hill, but also hitting climbs with as much speed as possible. It's all about gaining and keeping momentum. It's an easy way to get an advantage over an equally fit rider.

    You appeared out of condition around 5:20 . A lot of puffing for a short course .

      Thanks for the love my friend, if you're not pushing you're not improving.

      lol I am sure that's true - I'm a 50 year old dad coach who can't keep up with my teenagers let alone an elite level rider ...
